Preoperative left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is very common and one of the important causes of perioperative morbidity and mortality in cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries.

Key Points: 
  • Preoperative left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is very common and one of the important causes of perioperative morbidity and mortality in cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries.
  • In the study, patients undergoing preoperative anesthesia evaluation for cardiac and non-cardiac surgeries were enrolled.
  • For patients indicated for preoperative echocardiography, LVDD was diagnosed and graded as per American Society of Echocardiography (ASE) guidelines and a MyoVista wavECG was also performed.
  • Based on these findings, 25 of the 60 non-LVDD patients could be safely excluded from referral to preoperative echocardiography.
