A member asked:

E/a ratio 1.33 but deceleration time is 280ms. cut off value at 240ms on exam. sites say 220ms. echo report considered normal. is this normal

The values you: ...provide are well within normal. They do not indicate diastolic dysfunction. If your Echo is normal, than apparently there are no other obvious abnormalities in your heart's anatomy or function. While the gold standard in evaluating DD is cardiac catheterization, unless you have specific signs of cardiac dysfunction (including coronary artery disease) risks may outweigh benefits .

Very likely: At your age, the deceleration time can be a little bit above normal. Your E/A ratio is normal. Ask your doctor for feedback on the rest of the test.
