Popis: OBJECTIVE: While American and European consensus statements advocate employing the ratio of the transmitral E velocity and tissue Doppler early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/e’) in the assessment of left heart filling pressures, recent reports have questioned the reliability of this ratio to predict left atrial pressures in a variety of disease states. We hypothesized that there is a clinically significant correlation between E/e’ and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) in patients with severe aortic stenosis. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study PARTICIPANTS: 733 consecutive patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) for severe aortic stenosis INTERVENTIONS: None MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: PCWP and E/e’(ave) (average of the lateral and medial annulus tissue Doppler velocities) were measured using pulmonary artery catheter and transthoracic echocardiography during pre-procedural evaluation. Patients were grouped by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50% and LVEF < 50%. Spearman rank correlation, anova, t-tests and chi squared tests were used to analyze the data. 79 patients met the inclusion criteria. There was no significant correlation between E/e’(ave) and PCWP (n=79, spearman, r=0.096 p=0.3994). This correlation did not improve when ventricular function was considered (LVEF < 50%: n=11, spearman, r=−0.097, p=0.776; LVEF≥ 50%: n=68, spearman, r=0.116, p=0.345). There was no statistically significant difference in mean PCWP between each range of E/e’(ave). CONCLUSION: We did not find a clinically relevant relationship between E/e’ and PCWP in patients with severe aortic stenosis.
