Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in clinical practice is generally diagnosed by imaging.
Recognition of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction has increased interest in the …

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (DD) is recognized as an important contributor to
diastolic heart failure and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The …

Background—Preclinical diastolic dysfunction (PDD) has been broadly defined as subjects

Prevalence of isolated left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction has been reported to be as
high as one-third of all heart failure (HF) cases, with an increasing prevalence in the elderly …

Background Preclinical diastolic dysfunction (PDD) has been defined as subjects with
