Circulation 1997, 95:1222-1230. This study shows that patients with heart failure and an irreversible restrictive mitral inflow pattern have very high event rates (51%), whereas those with a reversible pattern (by altering loading conditions) have somewhat lower event rates (19%). The event rates were lowest in those with a nonrestrictive pattern (6%).

J Am Coll Cardiol 1998, 31:1591-1597. An important study that followed heart failure patients with systolic dysfunction and short deceleration time of the mitral peak E velocity for 26 ± 7 months. After 6 months of oral therapy for heart failure, 80 patients showed no change in their deceleration time. These patients had a death rate of 37%. The death rate in patients with a prolonged deceleration time after oral therapy was 11%.
