E wave, early mitral inflow; A wave, late mitral inflow; IVRT, isovolumic relaxation time; MV-E′ and MV-A′, mitral annulus early (E′) and late (A′) myocardial velocities; IVS-E′ and IVS-A′, interventricular septum early (E′) and late (A′) myocardial velocities; E/E′ ratio, inflow velocity divided by the tissue Doppler velocity; A-wave reversal, peak velocity of retrograde blood flow in the pulmonary vein during atrial systole.
