Why the study?
Evaluating left ventricular diastolic function is essential in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, but grey areas and complexity remain despite the 2016 guidelines.
This review discusses the complexities and grey areas in evaluating left ventricular diastolic function in HFpEF using the 2016 ASE/EACVI guidelines and newer indicators.
May aid diastolic grading in HFpEF grey zones; leaves open prospective outcome validation before routine use.
Evaluation of left ventricular diastolic function is essential, especially in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The American Society of Echocardiography/European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging guidelines were released in 2016. Four principal parameters were used to assess left ventricular diastolic function. However, there are grey areas; the situation is complex. Recently, various other indicators have been employed to explore left ventricular diastolic function.
