Background Left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) is difficult to measure continuously; therefore, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) is frequently used instead for hemodynamic monitoring in patients with heart failure. However, a discrepancy between LVEDP and mean PCWP is sometimes observed.Methods and Results To assess the feasibility of evaluating this discrepancy using echo-Doppler indexes, 140 consecutive patients with heart disease were studied. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE) was performed immediately before bilateral-sided cardiac catheterization. We measured peak velocities of early (E: cm/s) and late (A: cm/s) diastolic transmitral flow, and duration of A wave (MAd: ms). We also measured the duration of atrial reversal of pulmonary venous flow (PAd: ms). The difference between PAd and MAd (Delta d= PAd-MAd: ms) was calculated. The ratio of E to tissue Doppler-derived peak early diastolic velocity of mitral annulus (Ea: cm/s) was also calculated (E/Ea). There was a good positive correlation between LVEDP and Ad (r=0.77, p < 0.001). There was a modest correlation between mean PCWP and E/Ea (r=0.56, p < 0.001). When patients were classified by Delta d >= 10ms and E/Ea = 17mmHg) and normal mean PCWP (
