TL;DR
In the community, systolic dysfunction is frequently present in individuals without recognized CHF and diastolic dysfunction as rigorously defined by comprehensive Doppler techniques is common, often not accompanied by recognizedCHF, and associated with marked increases in all-cause mortality.
Abstract
In the community, systolic dysfunction is frequently present in individuals without recognized CHF. Furthermore, diastolic dysfunction as rigorously defined by comprehensive Doppler techniques is common, often not accompanied by recognized CHF, and associated with marked increases in all-cause mortality.
