Cross-sectional associations between questionnaire-measured physical activity and tissue doppler indices of left ventricular diastolic function.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The prevalence of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction has been increasing over the past decade, and to date, effective pharmacotherapies that enhance LV diastolic function have not yet been identified. Though some data has demonstrated the beneficial effects of exercise training on LV diastolic function, little is known about the adaptations of diastolic function to daily physical activity (PA). Accordingly, our study aimed to investigate the impact of daily PA on tissue Doppler indices of LV diastolic function.

Methods

A total of 432 participants were enrolled for clinically indicated echocardiography from July 2019 to July 2020 at Peking University People's Hospital. Participants aged ≥ 18 years were included if they had stable PA in the past six months
