Assessment of LV Diastolic Function by Echo in SR and AF

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

A triphasic left ventricular filling pattern with an additional mid diastolic wave, called T wave by some authors and L wave by others, can occur in situations of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, especially in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Another video on this channel describes triphasic mitral flow in more detail.
