Background-With aging, left ventricular filling tends to decrease in early diastole, reducing the mitral ratio of peak early to late diastolic filling velocity (E/A). However, the prognostic significance of low or high E/A in older adults remains C to be elucidated in population-based samples.Methods and Results-Doppler echocardiograms were analyzed in 3008 American Indian participants in the second Strong Heart Study examination who had no more than mild mitral or aortic regurgitation. Participants were followed for a mean of 3 years after Doppler echocardiography to assess risks of all-cause and cardiac death associated with E/A 1.5: 2429 (81%) participants had normal E/A ratio, 490 (16%) had E/A 1.5. All-cause mortality was higher with E/A 1.5 (12% and 13% versus 6%), as was cardiac mortality (4.5% and 6.5% versus 1.6% both P
