Implication

RPLVF linked to higher mortality across LVEF strata; hypothesis-generating for risk stratification and requires prospective validation.

Structured PICO

Does a restrictive left ventricular filling pattern with preserved LVEF increase cardiovascular mortality compared to controls?

Population

316 patients from an echocardiographic laboratory database, including those with restrictive pattern of left ventricular filling (RPLVF) and LVEF >50% (n=36), RPLVF and LVEF <50% (n=120), and echocardiographic controls (n=160).

Intervention

Restrictive pattern of left ventricular filling (RPLVF) with preserved LVEF (>50%)

Comparator

RPLVF with reduced LVEF (<50%) and echocardiographic controls

Outcome

Cardiovascular mortalityhard clinical

A restrictive left ventricular filling pattern on echocardiography is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, regardless of whether the left ventricular ejection fraction is preserved or reduced.
