Figure 1 Method for Pressure Recording Analysis

Left atrium (LA), left ventricle (LV), and ascending aorta (Ao) demonstrating the hemodynamic variables used for characterization of diastolic function. (a) Minimum LV pressure; (b) LV pre-A pressure; (c) end-diastolic pressure, LV end-diastolic pressure; (d) LV diastolic filling period; (e) LA peak A wave pressure; (f) V wave height; (g) LA peak V wave pressure; (h) isovolumic relaxation period.
