Left Atrial Distensibility and E/e' for Estimating Left Ventricular Filling Pressure in Patients With Stable Angina - A Comparative Echocardiography and Catheterization Study -

Abstract

E/e' is not completely satisfactory for assessing LVFP in patients with stable angina, especially those with single-vessel disease, preserved systolic function or high MPI variation. For identifying high LVFP, LA distensibility and LAEF are better than E/e'.
