Value of Diastolic Stress Echocardiography Combined with Speckle Tracking Imaging in Assessment of Patients with Exertional Dyspnea and Normal Resting Left Ventricular Functions

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

A group of patients presenting with exertional
dyspnea and a preserved left ventricular
ejection fraction (LVEF) have a normal resting
left ventricular (LV) filling pressure which
increases with exercise or stress due to
diastolic dysfunction.
