LAV(min) is a better echocardiographic correlate of LV diastolic function than LAV(max), likely due to the impact of LV longitudinal systolic function on LA reservoir function.
LAV(min) is a better correlate of LV diastolic function than LAV(max). The impact of LV longitudinal systolic function on LA reservoir function might explain the weaker relation between LAV(max) and LV diastolic function.
