E-Wave Propagation Velocity Vp

Measure LV diastolic function using color M-mode flow propagation velocity (Vp). Vp <45 cm/s indicates impaired relaxation and elevated filling pressures.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Measure LV diastolic function using color M-mode flow propagation velocity (Vp). Vp <45 cm/s indicates impaired relaxation and elevated filling pressures

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Color M-mode flow propagation velocity — The color m-mode flow propagation velocity recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the e-wave propagation vp result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the color M-mode flow propagation velocity for the scenario you are assessing. Measure LV diastolic function using color M-mode flow propagation velocity (Vp). Vp <45 cm/s indicates impaired relaxation and elevated filling pressures. Use the e-wave propagation vp result to inform your calculation.
