Early diastolic mitral annular velocity (e') and BMI partially predict left ventricular relaxation, with higher BMI linked to impaired relaxation independent of age.
Early diastolic mitral annular velocity (e') has only a modest association with the invasive time constant of relaxation (τ), while increased BMI independently contributes to impaired LV relaxation.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
In this cohort, e' and τ showed only a modest association. LV geometry and BMI were independent contributors to both τ and e', while age did not significantly affect τ. The determinants of τ and the mean e' partially overlap and have distinct physiological bases. An increased BMI is associated with impaired LV relaxation.
