Sensitivity and specificity of two-dimensional echocardiography in detection of impaired left ventricular function.

abstract：:Diastolic heart disease is common and appears to be the primary abnormality in a substantial proportion of all patients with CHF. The epidemiology and natural history of the condition appears different to that of systolic heart failure, resulting in significant morbidity although contributing little to overall mortali...
