Why the study?
Does the Tissue Doppler-derived E/e' ratio predict mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney disease and diastolic dysfunction?
Does the Tissue Doppler-derived E/e' ratio predict mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with chronic kidney disease and diastolic dysfunction?
Tissue Doppler-derived E/e' ratio serves as a useful prognostic marker for mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with CKD and diastolic dysfunction.
May aid risk stratification in CKD with diastolic dysfunction; hypothesis-generating pending prospective validation.
The E/e' ratio can predict mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with CKD who have diastolic dysfunction.
