First, the measurement of E/e′ at 2 to 7 minutes after cessation of exercise may not be reliable because recovery of heart rate, and therefore recovery of left ventricular diastolic function and filling pressures, may occur within 1 to 2 minutes after exercise for most patients.2 In other studies this parameter has been measured at peak exercise3 or within 1 minute after exercise.4 The merging of early and late diastolic waves either at the left ventricular inflow level or mitral annulus should be not considered an impediment because the usefulness of the 
E/e′ index has been demonstrated even in this condition.5
