Implication

Supports pulmonary vein-driven mechanism for mitral L waves; leaves open validation for diastolic assessment.

Structured PICO

Population

12 healthy volunteers, plus retrospective analysis of data from patients with mitral stenosis and conscious dogs

Intervention

M mode echograms of mitral valve motion and Doppler echocardiograms of mitral and pulmonary vein flow velocities

Outcome

Temporal relationships between mid-diastolic mitral valve motion (L motion), pulmonary venous flow (K phase), and transmitral flow (L wave)surrogate

The mid-diastolic L motion of the mitral valve and associated L wave of transmitral flow are caused by the reestablishment of a positive atrioventricular pressure gradient due to left atrial filling via pulmonary veins.
