The Valsalva maneuver can help distinguish normal from pseudonormal (decrease in E/A ratio of >=50% is highly specific for increased LV filling pressures.
Acquisition tips: continuous recording of mitral inflow using PW Doppler for 10 s during the strain.

Reference cutoffs → TAPSE > 1.7 cm, S′ > 9.5 cm/s, FAC > 35%, 3D RVEF > 45%, RVFWS < −20%.View quoted post on X
