Abstract 10885: Decreased Hydraulic Force Contributes to Diastolic Dysfunction and Associates with Survival Beyond Conventional Measures of Diastolic Dysfunction
Abstract:Introduction:
Decreased hydraulic force has recently been identified as a mechanism contributing to left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, it is unclear if hydraulic forces are independently associated with survival.
Hypothesis:
Decreased diastolic hydraulic force, estimated as the atrioventricular area difference (AVAD), is associated with survival independent of conventional dia… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
