Comparison of diastolic dysfunction grade between women and men. Grades of diastolic dysfunction were evaluated by echography according to current guidelines (14). The “normal left ventricular filling pressure” group encompassed patients with Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction (light blue). The “elevated left ventricular filling pressure” group included Grades 2 and 3 (dark blue). Both at baseline and at 1-year follow-up, elevated LVFP was more frequent in women than in men.
