This score index was with a score of 1 for an E/A ratio < 1, a score of 1 for a septal e'/a' ratio ≤ 0.8, a score of 2 for a lateral e'/a' ratio ≤ 1, a score of 2 for a septal E/e' ratio ≥10-15, a score of 3 for a lateral E/e' ratio ≥8-15, and a score of 1 for a deceleration time >240 ms. The sum of each score was considered as the final value in this scoring method (either a septal or a lateral E/e' ratio > 15 was given a total score of 10, regardless of the other measurements).
