Prevalence of diastolic dysfunction according to EACVI/ASE guidelines from 2009 and 2016 in a 63-65 years old general population cohort-Data from the ACE 1950 study
The inclusion of pulmonary arterial pressure misclassifies diastolic function using the current EACVI guidelines in pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension.
Can 2D speckle tracking echocardiography have an additional impact on prediction of hospitalizations due to heart failure decompensation in patients with ischemic left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Speaker:
Assistant Professor L. Danilowicz-Szymanowicz (Gdansk, PL)
Early systolic function is impaired in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction and is a more important predictor of clinical outcomes than diastolic function
