Diastolic dysfunction/heart failure normal ejection fraction. Average percent difference in left ventricular peak systolic apical rotation (Range: Control; 7.8 to 9.9, Patients; -8.4 to 15.7 degrees), [3, 67, 68] peak systolic basal rotation (Range: Control; -6.3 to −8, Patients; -7.1 to −8.2 degrees), [3, 67, 68] peak systolic twist (Range: Control; 14 to 15.8, Patients; 13 to 16.9 degrees), [3, 20, 37, 68] peak systolic torsion (Range: Control; 2.2 to 2.5, Patients; 2.5 to 2.7 degrees/cm) [37, 67] and peak diastolic untwist (Range: Control; -110 to −112, Patients; -129 to −135 degrees/sec) [3, 67] between a pooled sample of those with any grade of diastolic dysfunction and healthy controls as reported in existing articles. Systolic parameters denoted by red filled boxes. Diastolic parameters denoted by empty boxes.
