A novel electrocardiographic index for the diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction.

<h4>Background</h4>Although the assessment of diastolic dysfunction (DD) is an integral part of routine cardiologic examinations, little is known about associated electrocardiographic (ECG) changes. Our aim was to investigate a potential role of ECG indices for the recognition of patient...

The patient group with a DD Grade 1 and 2 showed longer QTc (422 ± 24 ms and 434 ± 32 ms vs. 409 ± 25ms, p<0.0005) and shorter Tend-P and Tend-Q intervals, reflecting the electrical and mechanical diastole (240 ± 78 ms and 276 ± 108 ms vs. 373 ± 110 ms, p<0.0001; 409 ± 85 ms and 447 ± 115 ms vs. 526 ± 119 ms, p<0.0001).
