(Extracted from JASE 2010;23:465-95)


3 cursor locations for AV valves:

Lateral Mitral Annular Tissue Doppler Tracing:


s' - Ventricular Systole

e' - Ventricular recoil during early diastole

a' - Atrial systole

IVCT' - Isovolumic contraction time (Note: Apostrophe)

IVRT - Isovolumic relaxation time (Note: Apostrophe)
