Why the study?
Are echocardiographic parameters of diastolic function reproducible in a population-based cohort?
Are echocardiographic parameters of diastolic function reproducible in a population-based cohort?
Echocardiographic assessment of diastolic function is highly reproducible, supporting its use as a reliable clinical and research tool.
Supports reliability of diastolic assessment in cohorts; leaves open generalizability to clinical practice.
In this validation study within the STANISLAS cohort, diastolic function echocardiographic parameters were found to be highly reproducible. Diastolic dysfunction consequently appears as a highly effective clinical and research tool.
