Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction across Levels of Kidney Function: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on Routine Clinical Practice Data.

ABSTRACT: Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) commonly coexists with kidney dysfunction. In this study, we investigated the presence of abnormalities in echocardiography parameters indicative of LVDD across stages of kidney function. Methods: We selected patients who visited a university hospital and had a serum creatinine and echocardiography reported in their medical records. Participants were categorized based on their kidney function: normal (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] ≥ 90 mL/min/1.73 m²), mildly decreased (eGFR: 60-90), moderately decreased (eGFR: 30-60), and severely decreased (eGFR < 30). The relationship between kidney function and echocardiography parameters was examined using logistic and linear regressions. Results: Among 4022 patients
