Correlation of E/E’ on echocardiography and BNP levels in diastolic dysfunction patients visiting Mardan Medical Complex

Introduction: Assessment of diastolic heart function can be challenging due to various factors. Doppler echocardiography is useful but has limitations, pointing the need for more accurate tests. Tissue imaging (TDI) a promising ultrasound technique prediction. The E/E' ratio commonly used determine LV filling pressures. B-natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels may also indicate dysfunction. Aims: To compare BNP with ratios in this investigation evaluate their effectiveness predicting Methodology: This study compared patients Patients reduced were excluded, and all participants gave informed consent. found that diagnostic tool could using ROC curves. Results: included 100 dysfunction excluded those function. had mean age 60.51, 60% males 40% females. majority NYHA class II (56%), followed by III (28%) IV (16%). provided different ratios.
