"The "E wave" represents early diastolic filling, and is determined by the pressure gradient between the left atrium and ventricle when the mitral valve opens. The e' velocity is used as a measure of the lusitropic properties of the ventricle. As two important factors actuating left ventricular diastolic filling, the ratio derived from these variables provides a conceptual, rough estimate of filling pressure. An E/e' > 14 and/or an e' < 8 indicates the presence of diastolic dysfunction, and may be integrated into haemodynamic findings to:"
