Abstract
L waves are an unusual finding in the analysis of mitral valve pulsed-wave Doppler. This wave is recorded as flow between the left atrium and left ventricle during diastole, due to elevated left ventricular (LV) filling pressures.1---3 In this situation, triphasic mitral filling can be observed, with the presence of mid-diastolic L waves
