Question 1 of 30👑 VIP
A 68-year-old man is referred for evaluation of exertional dyspnea. On transthoracic echocardiography, pulsed-wave Doppler of the mitral inflow from the apical four-chamber view shows an E-wave velocity of 0.6 m/s, an A-wave velocity of 0.9 m/s, and a deceleration time of 280 ms. Tissue Doppler imaging of the lateral mitral annulus reveals an e' velocity of 5 cm/s. Which diastolic dysfunction grade does this pattern most closely represent?
