Sex, racial differences and healthy aging in normative reference ranges on diastolic function in Ethnic Asians: 2016 ASE guideline revisited.

Our observed sex and ethnic differences in defining healthy diastolic cut-offs likely impact future clinical definition for DD in Asians. PMID: 33423900 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
