  Aim: In the past, Mitral E/e’ ratio has been recommended for detecting elevated left ventricular filling pressures. However, more recently, gender specific differences in E/e´ ratios have been demonstrated. The aim of this prospective study was to validate the established standard values for the correlation of E/e´ ratio and left ventricular end diastolic pressure LVEDP in 190 consecutive patients with dyspnea in terms of age and gender differences. Methods and results: 190 patients had sufficient echogenicity to allow complete assessment of the Doppler and tissue Doppler parameters. Overall, there was only a weak significant correlation between E/e´ ratio and LVEDP pre laevo cardiography (R=0.24, P=0.006). In patients with ejection fraction (EF) > 50% there was no significant correlation. Female patients had higher bas.. View More»
