Original ResearchRedefining Diastolic Dysfunction Grading: Combination of E/A ≤0.75 and Deceleration Time >140 ms and E/ε′ ≥10

Objectives This study sought to examine left atrial (LA) mechanics and the prognostic impact of patients with echocardiographic findings of E/A ratio ≤0.75, deceleration time (DcT) of mitral E-wave >140 ms, but E/e′ ≥10.
