Mitral valve inflow pulsed wave Doppler (a) and Tissue Doppler Imaging of the mitral valve annulus (b) of a patient with CA demonstrating an early diastolic dysfunction pattern. Circumferential (c) and longitudinal deformation by 2D strain imaging (c and d) mainly shows an impairment of global longitudinal deformation. In patients with CA, an impaired deformation in basal segments compared to apical segments could be found
