Abstract
Approximately half of patients with heart failure (HF) have a diastolic
one. Despite the importance of diagnosing DD, there has been little study of the
ability of electrocardiography to evaluate the presence or absence of DD. In
addition, whether a normal electrocardiogram excludes DD is unknown.We
aimed to evaluate whether electrocardiographic parameters can provide clues to
the presence of DD and to determine the usefulness of electrocardiographic QT
interval to predict left ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
The study included fifty patients, age > 18 years old of both sexes who
classified in two groups:
group I (DD group) included 30 patients with diastolic dysfunction.
group II (control group) included 20 healthy subjects with normal
diastolic function.
