Understanding Diastolic Dysfunction, Made Simple with Echo

This visual shows how the heart’s diastolic function (its ability to relax and fill) changes across different stages of dysfunction , from normal to severely restrictive (Grade 3–4).

Here’s what’s being analyzed:

1️⃣ ECG: for timing
2️⃣ Mitral inflow: the E and A waves show how blood enters the left ventricle
3️⃣ Pulmonary vein flow: tells us about left atrial pressure
4️⃣ Tissue Doppler: checks the movement of the mitral annulus
5️⃣ Color M-mode: shows how quickly blood fills the ventricle (Vp = propagation velocity)

🟢 Normal:
E wave > A wave, good tissue movement, healthy filling
🟡 Grade 1 (Abnormal relaxation):
E < A, slowed filling often in older adults
🟠 Grade 2 (Pseudonormal):
Looks normal, but it’s not E > A again, but due to raised LA pressure
🔴 Grade 3–4 (Restrictive filling):
E ≫ A, very poor ventricular compliance and bad prognosis
