DiscussionImpaired LV diastolic reserve is an occult sign of heart failure and a predictor of its adverse outcomes [1]. While the early-diastolic opening of TV precedes that of MV under normal conditions, once left atrial (LA) pressure elevates, the opening of MV becomes early and precedes TV opening resulting from the early crossover of LA and LV pressures [2, 3, 4]. In case 1, E/e′ increased along with the elevated PCWP during exercise, and the order of AVV opening was also altered. Meanwhile, in case 2, E/e′ did not track the increase of PCWP during leg lifts, but the order of AVV correctly changed. Because E velocity depends on the early-diastolic LA to LV pressure difference [5], the increase in E velocity might have been gentle due to the increase of LV minimal pressure despite the increased LA v-wave. These cases underline the potential usefulness of the stress-induced alteration of the order of early-diastolic AVV opening to detect impaired LV diastolic function reserve. However, further studies including a larger sample, ideally using simultaneous catheterization-echocardiographic testing, are needed to confirm our findings.
