LV filling-pressure algorithm (ASE 2016)

Applies the ASE/EACVI 2016 algorithm for a normal-EF patient: counts abnormal criteria to grade filling pressure. (Different pathway applies with reduced EF or known myocardial disease.)

mL/m²

Normal LA pressure likely

0 of 3 criteria abnormal (E/e′ > 14, TR Vmax > 2.8 m/s, LAVi > 34 mL/m²)

Worked steps

  1. E/e′ average > 14

    9.0 → normal

  2. TR peak velocity > 2.8 m/s

    2.5 m/s → normal

  3. LA volume index > 34 mL/m²

    30 → normal
