Figure 2.
Examples of transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) Doppler findings obtained in a patient with a low invasive pulmonary artery occlusion pressure (PAOP) (left panels) and in a patient with elevated left ventricle (LV) filling pressures (right panels) who were both enrolled in protocol B. Values of studied Doppler indices are noted on each corresponding TEE view. Abbreviations: DTI, Doppler tissue imaging; DTE, deceleration time of early diastolic mitral E wave; SF, systolic fraction.
