Table 4.
Incidence of PE classified according to E/e′
| E/e′ | PE/non-PE | Ratio (%) |
|---|---|---|
| <8 | 0/59 | 0 |
| 8–15 | 1/85 | 1.2 |
| >15 | 3/1 | 75.0 |
P = 0.002. Chi-square test was used for trend analysis for proportions. PE: pulmonary edema, E/e′: ratio of LV early diastolic filling velocity to the peak velocity of mitral medial annulus.
