Background: LV diastolic dysfunction (DD) and diastolic HF is a major and widely spreaded health proplem and it’s associated with higher cardiovascular morbidity and all-cause mortality, ECG –LVH is studied as an early predictor of LV diastolic dysfunction.
Methods: diastolic dysfunction is evaluated in 100 patients with Cornell product (CP) criteria>2440 mm.ms with complete evaluation of diastolic function via mitral inflow velocities (mitral E velocity, A velocity and E/A ratio), tissue Doppler imaging (septal and lateral annular velocity, E/E’ ratio), deceleration time, isovolumic relaxation time, left atrial Enlargement, left ventricular mass index.
Results: Among the 100 patients (59% f... view moreĀ»
