Diastolic Dysfunction Grading - Echocardiography Grade 0 (Normal): • E/A >0.8, e’ > 8 cm/s, E/e’ < 8 Grade 1 (Impaired Relaxation): • E/A <0.8, e’ < 8 cm/s, E/e’ < 8 • Impaired Relaxation & Decreased LV Compliance • Mild Decrease in LV Muscle Relaxation Speed Grade 2 (Pseudonormal): • E/A >0.8, e’ < 8 cm/s, E/e’ 8 - 15 • Increase in LAP causing more “Push” from LA during Early Filling • Moderate Decrease in LV Muscle Relaxation Speed Grade 3 (Restrictive): • E/A >2, e’ << 8 cm/s, E/e’ > 15 • Severe increase in LAP causing more “Push” from LA during Early Filling. Also LA enlargement • Severe Decrease in LV Muscle Relaxation Speed - POCUS 101 @Pocus101 #diastology #Diastolic #Dysfunction #Grading #Echocardiography #echocardiogram #grades #diagnosis #cardiology #POCUS
