Connection among risk factors (traditional and non-traditional), left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, edothelial dysfunction, coronary artery disease and heart failure

Legend: It can be observed that traditional risk factors are more often related to the incidence of obstructive coronary artery disease in older people, whereas in younger people, especially women, non-traditional risk factors predominate with a higher frequency of non-obstructive coronary artery disease. LVDD= left ventricular diastolic dysfunction; ED=endothelial dysfunction; CAD=coronary artery disease, HFmrEF=heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction; HFpEF=heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFrEF=heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
