The end-diastolic velocity is called Vmin. At the end of diastole record the diastolic blood pressure. Vmin represents the gradient across the aortic valve at the end of diastole. Subtracting this gradient from the diastolic blood pressure will yield the LVEDP.

How do you calculate left ventricular end-diastolic pressure?

In the subgroup used for fitting (n=87), the equation was left ventricular end-diastolic pressures = −10.87 + 5261/pulmonary venous flow diastolic deceleration time.

What is the normal range for Lvedp?

The median (interquartile range) LVEDP was 19 mm Hg (14 – 24 mm Hg).

All participants in this study were divided into prespecified clinical groups based on their LVEDP measurement: normal or mildly elevated pressures (30 mm Hg) for all clinical end points.
