In HFpEF, conduit flow rate decreases when diastolic dysfunction develops during exercise, in parallel with changes in LV inotropic state and torsion, contributing to impaired stroke volume reserve. Conduit flow is measurable using 3D-echocardiographic full-volume atrio-ventricular datasets, and as a marker of LV relaxation can contribute to the diagnosis of HFpEF.
