Background. The ratio of early transmitral flow velocity to early diastolic velocity of the mitral annulus (E/e') is an indicator of diastolic function that correlates well with left ventricular (LV) filling pressure and is relatively independent of systolic function and rhythm abnormalities. We prospectively evaluated the predictive value of E/e' for postoperative outcome in patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass graft surgery (OPCAB).Methods. Patients undergoing OPCAB were classified into three groups according to their E/e' ratio: (i) normal E/e',8; (ii) undetermined E/e' >= 8 and 15, high LV filling pressure, LV ejection fraction, New York Heart Association class III and IV, and use of diuretics were significant risk factors for postoperative morbidity. In multivariate regression analysis of these variables, only sCr (odds ratio 1.4) and E/e' >15 (odds ratio 2.4) or high LV filling pressure (odds ratio 2.8) remained as independent risk factors.Conclusions. E/e' ratio >15 was a significant predictor of composite endpoints of postoperative morbidity. We suggest that E/e' ratio should be included in the routine preoperative assessment of patients presenting for OPCAB.
