Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Early Diastolic Mitral Annular Velocity (E-prime) Using Tissue DopplerAssessed from echo obtained at time of enrollment

E-prime is a conventional commonly-used parameter of diastolic function. Higher values of E-prime typically reflect better diastolic function.

Diastolic Circumferential Strain Rate During Isovolumic RelaxationAssessed from echo obtained at time of enrollment

Diastolic circumferential strain rate during isovolumic relaxation is a novel measure of diastolic function that measures the rate of relaxation of the left ventricle during the interval of isovolumic relaxation (the period of active relaxation). We would expect that a higher value reflects better relaxation, and better diastolic function.
