Evaluation of echocardiographic parameters in Japanese patients aged over 90 years at a single institution

ConclusionWe established the normal range of TTE parameters in elderly patients who had LV ejection fraction> 55% without cardiac, renal, or aortic disease. Sex differences were present as well as a tendency towards age-related changes in LV geometry and diastolic function. Most of the patients aged over 90 years had LV hypertrophy and potential diastolic dysfunction.
