  1. E/A = ratio of early to late transmitral filling velocities; Pvs:Pvd = Ratio of pulmonary venous flow in systole to pulmaonry venous flow in diastole; Pva = pulmonary venous flow during atrial systole; Mad-Pad = Duration of transmitral atrial wave – duration of pulmonary venous atrial wave. † = p < 0.05 vs ET
