Diastolic stiffness as assessed by diastolic wall strain is associated with adverse remodelling and poor outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
European Heart Journal, 06/14/2012
Ohtani T et al. – These data suggest that diastolic wall strain (DWS), a simple index, is useful in assessing diastolic stiffness and that more advanced diastolic stiffness is associated with worse outcomes in HFpEF.
