The effect of physical activity level on the severity of diastolic dysfunction.

Background: Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is a risk factor for cardiovascular events in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgeries. Investigators aimed to assess the effect of physical activity level on the diastolic function of the left ventricle (LV) in patients attending the preoperative visit.

Methods: This analytic cross-sectional study was conducted on 228 patients referred to Poursina hospital from November 2021 to March 2022.
