Opportunities of the echocardiography in prognosis of the left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with hypertension

Abstract

the 3D GLS were prognostic markers for impaired LV diastolic function. An Е / е’ value exceeding 12.1 during the baseline stress-EchoCG indicated impairment of the LV diastolic function at 12 months of follow-up with sensitivity and specificity of 100 % and 96.2 %, respectively. For 3D GLS values exceeding –12.86 %, sensitivity and specificity for prediction of impaired diastolic function were 96.9 % and 90.6 %, respectively. Conclusion. Using stress EchoCG and parameters of myocardial deformation al-lows improving diagnostics in patients with diastolic dysfunction and chronic heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
