Burden of systolic and diastolic ventricular dysfunction in the community: appreciating the scope of the heart failure epidemic
MM Redfield, SJ Jacobsen, JC Burnett, DW Mahoney… - Jama, 2003 - jamanetwork.com
Context Approximately half of patients with overt congestive heart failure (CHF) have
diastolic dysfunction without reduced ejection fraction (EF). Yet, the prevalence of diastolic
dysfunction and its relation to systolic dysfunction and CHF in the community remain
undefined. Objectives To determine the prevalence of CHF and preclinical diastolic
dysfunction and systolic dysfunction in the community and determine if diastolic dysfunction
is predictive of all-cause mortality. Design, Setting, Participants Cross-sectional survey of …
