The median time since the transplantation was 11 years. Data obtained from surveillance cardiac catheterisation and echocardiographic examination were reviewed. Traditional echocardiographic indices of diastolic function were compared with the pulmonary capillary wedge pressure and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure obtained from cardiac catheterisation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S1047951124000908_as3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The median age at transplant was 12.1 years, and the median time since transplant was 11 years. Eighteen patients (43%) had a history of at least one rejection episode and 12 patients (29%) had a history of cardiac allograft vasculopathy. There was no correlation between mitral inflow E velocity, mitral E\/A ratio, tissue Doppler velocities, mitral E\/e\u2019 (mitral inflow E velocity to mitral annular velocity), and elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure or elevated left ventricular end-diastolic pressure.
