Diastolic Dysfunction
(Last Updated - 5/12/2007)

-e/a Flow:
     e-Flow:
          -early passive diastolic filling --> normally most of diastolic inflow
     a-Flow:
          -represents atrial systole --> normally not as much diastolic inflow as e-flow

-e/a Reversal:
     -Diastolic dysfunction --> a-flow > e-flow --> LV filling is more dependent on atrial systole
