Fig. 6From: Grading diastolic function by echocardiography: hemodynamic validation of existing guidelinesa. End-diastolic volume index at 20 mmHg (EDVi20) in patients stratified according to diastolic function grade. Data are shown as median with error bars representing 25 % and 75 % percentile. Patients with normal diastolic function had lower EDVi20 than patients with Grade 3 diastolic dysfunction, but there were no differences between patients with normal diastolic function and grade 1 of 2 diastolic dysfunction. b. End-diastolic volume index at 20 mmHg (EDVi20) in patients stratified according to diastolic function grade and presence or absence of left ventricular systolic dysfunction (EF < 50 %). Data are shown as median with error bars representing 25 % and 75 % percentile. No significant differences are seen between groupsBack to article page
