HHD, 0·570·24; normal, 0·550·15 m/s), and the late diastolic mitral inflow velocity (A) was higher in the severe caused by decreased mitral annular motion and abnormal left ventricular relaxation.mitral annular calcification group (1·240·23 m/s) than in the other three groups (mild mitral annular calcification, 0·960·20; HHD, 0·840·23; normal, 0·750·13 m/s). In contrast, the early and late diastolic annular velocities (Ea, Aa) were lower in the severe mitral annular calcification group (Ea: 5·72·2; Aa: 11·94·4 cm/s) than in the othe
