Staging of diastolic dysfunction - 20-05-2007, 06:35 AM

We know the phases of diastolic function (isovolumic relaxation, early filling, diastasis, and late filling-atrial kick).
But someone asked me about the stages (grades) of DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION. I read my textbook, and found that diastolic dysfunction can be assesed by Doppler Echo, and can be divided into four stages (looking at the ratio of E/A- transmitral echo). Any idea? Plz share ur knowledge.
