The Effect of Age on Right Ventricular Diastolic Function Parameters

Response to the Paper by Demirkol et al. Entitled ‘The Effect of Age on Right Ventricular Diastolic Function Parameters'

“…The authors would like to thank Demirkol et al [1] for their thoughtful comments. We agree that echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular diastolic function has potential utility in many clinical scenarios including the effect of aging on cardiac and pulmonary function.…”

“…Unfortunately, these parameters were not systemically examined in our study cohort [2]. We join with Demirkol et al [1] in calling for future studies to assess the effect of aging on right ventricular diastolic function.…”
