M-mode left atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) correlates with Tissue Doppler (TD) peak systolic annular velocity in healthy individuals. This approach is biased by several interacting factors related to the structural complexity of mitral annulus physiology, including the different dimensional values of measures, the confounding effect of isovolumic motions, and the spectral thickness of pulsed TD envelope. We sought to analyze the effective concordance between techniques in the assessment of systolic annular excursion.
