e-Appendix 1. Case examples for the assessment of diastolic function
Case #1
These images were recorded from a 70-year-old female with reduced left ventricular (LV) function using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Although the patient was in sinus rhythm, there was no detectable A wave. A peak tricuspid regurgitation (TR) jet velocity could not be obtained, and there was no left atrial (LA) volume measurement. E wave velocity is 99.8 cm/sec, e’ is 6.3 cm/sec, and E/e’ is 15.8.

Case 1 - Tissue Doppler imaging of lateral mitral valve annulus
Case #1
Evaluation of LV diastolic function
By ASE/EACI algorithm:
Referring to figure 2B and lacking a measurable A wave, TR velocity, or LA volume measurement; the patient is classified with indeterminate diastolic function.
By simplified approach:
The finding of an e’ < 8 is consistent with the presence of diastolic dysfunction. The finding of an E/e’ > 14 is consistent with the presence of diastolic dysfunction. The simplified approach does not further classify the degree of diastolic dysfunction (as would the ASE/EACI algorithm).
Estimation of LA pressure (LAP)
By ASE/EACI algorithm:
Referring to figure 2B and lacking a measurable A wave, TR velocity, or LA volume measurement, it is not possible to estimate LAP.
By simplified approach:
The E/e’ is greater than 14, so the patient has an elevation of LAP.
Comment: Without measurement of LA volume index or peak TR jet velocity, the ASE/EACI algorithm yields an indeterminate result. The simplified approach permits evaluation of LAP.

Case #2
These images were recorded from a 62-year-old male with reduced LV function. The measurements were recorded using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) from the mid-esophageal four chamber view. A peak TR jet velocity could not be obtained, and there was no LA volume measurement. E wave velocity is 96.2 cm/sec, A wave velocity is 58.6 cm/sec, E/A is 1.64, e’ is 14.1 cm/sec, and E/e’ is 6.8.

Case #2
Evaluation of LV diastolic function
By ASE/EACI algorithm:
Referring to figure 2B, the E wave velocity and E/A ratio by themselves do not allow classification of diastolic function. Lacking a measurable peak TR velocity or LA volume measurement; the patient is classified with indeterminate diastolic function.
By simplified approach:
The finding of a e’ > 8 cm/sec indicates normal diastolic function. The finding of an E/e’ < 14 indicates normal diastolic function.
Estimation of LAP
By ASE/EACI algorithm
Referring to figure 2B , the E wave velocity and E/A ratio by themselves do not allow estimation of LAP. Lacking a peak TR velocity, or LA volume measurement, it is not possible to estimate LAP.
By simplified approach
The low E/e’ ratio indicates that there is no elevation of LAP.
Comment: It is unusual to measure a normal e’ velocity with co-existent reduction of LV function. This remains unexplained in this case. Without measurement of LA volume index or peak TR jet velocity, the ASE/EACI algorithm yields an indeterminate result. The simplified approach permits evaluation of diastolic function and LAP.

Case #3
Evaluation of LV diastolic function
By ASE/EACI algorithm:
Referring to figure 2A, the e’ and E/e’ by themselves do not allow categorization of diastolic function. Lacking TR velocity or LA volume measurement; the patient is classified with indeterminate diastolic function.
By simplified approach:
The finding of a e’ < 8cm/sec indicates abnormal diastolic function. The finding of an E/e’ < 14 does not support diastolic dysfunction. The simplified approach allows an and/or approach whereby the presence of either the e’ < 8 cm/sec and/or E/e’ > 14 is consistent with diastolic dysfunction. The “grey zone” approach further holds that the probability of diastolic dysfunction is increased when both values are consistent.
Estimation of LAP
By ASE/EACI algorithm
Referring to figure 2B, the E wave velocity and E/A ratio by themselves do not allow estimation of LAP. Lacking a peak TR velocity or LA volume measurement, it is not possible to estimate LAP.
By simplified approach
The low E/e’ ratio indicates that there is no elevation of LAP.
Comment: Without measurement of LA volume index or peak TR jet velocity, the ASE/EACI algorithm yields an indeterminate result. The simplified approach permits evaluation of diastolic function and LAP. This case is another example of the difficulty of using the ASE/EACI algorithm in the critically ill patient. Patient specific factors, the physical challenge of properly positioning the patient, respirophasic translational artifact, and time constraints all combine to make it difficult to measure LA volume index or obtain good quality peak TR velocity on a routine basis.

Case #4 Interpretation
Evaluation of LV diastolic function
By ASE/EACI algorithm:
Referring to figure 2A, the e’, E/e’, and TR jet velocity by themselves do not allow categorization of diastolic function. Lacking a LA volume index the patient is classified with indeterminate diastolic function.
By simplified approach:
The finding of a e’ < 8 cm/sec indicates abnormal diastolic function. The finding of an E/e’ is < 14 does not support diastolic dysfunction. The simplified approach allows an and/or approach whereby the presence of either the e’ < 8 cm/sec and/or E/e’ > 14 is consistent with diastolic dysfunction. The grey zone approach further holds that the probability diastolic dysfunction is increased when both values are consistent.

Estimation of LAP
By ASE/EACI algorithm
Referring to figure 2B, the E wave velocity and E/A ratio by themselves do not allow estimation of LAP. The TR velocity is not consistent with elevated LAP. Together, these measurements are consistent with normal LAP.
By simplified approach
The E/e’ < 14 indicates that that there is no elevation of LAP.
Comment: This case is complicated by the presence of severe RV dilation (seen on the TTE examination and confirmed by the small image shown with the Doppler tracing). As the right atrial pressure was 20mm Hg in this case, the peak TR velocity of 2.03 m/sec indicates that the patient has an elevation of pulmonary systolic artery pressure. The arbitrary cutoff of 2.8 m/sec used in the ASE/EACI algorithm was selected as a means of ruling out pulmonary arterial hypertension. While this is an useful screening approach in the patient that has normal right atrial pressure, it does not take into account the patient with high right atrial pressure. Severe RV enlargement is typically associated with a reduction in E wave velocity due to interventricular dependence, so there is a possibility that the measured E wave velocity (and therefore E/e’ ratio) are false negative values. This emphasizes the need to interpret standard indices of diastolic function in the context of the entire echocardiography examination.
