Algorithm for Diagnosing Diastolic Dysfunction With Doppler Echocardiography 1. Determine the age of the patient 2. Are there complicating factors or is image quality poor? 3. Check for presence of diastolic dysfunction: 4. Analyze the mitral inflow pattern: E velocity, A velocity, E/A ratio, and E-wave DT 5. Grade diastolic dysfunction: 6. Assess for increased LV filling pressure (LVFP): #Algorithm #Diastolic #Diastology #Dysfunction #Echocardiography #Cardiology #Diagnosis #Grading #Classification #Assessment
