The ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity (E) to early diastolic mitral annular tissue velocity (e’), or E/e’, is an echocardiographic measure of left ventricular filling pressure. Peri‐operative changes in E/e’ and association with outcomes have been demonstrated in adults undergoing surgery for aortic stenosis (AS). We sought to explore changes in E/e’ and other diastolic indices in the setting of congenital AS surgery and to assess for association with post‐operative outcomes among children and young adults.
