Impact of Pulse Wave Velocity and Parameters Reflecting Android Type Fat Distribution on Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction in Patients with Chronic Coronary Syndromes.

LVDD is common among CCS patients and it is associated with parameters reflecting android type fat distribution regardless of NT-proBNP and high-sensitivity troponin T concentrations. Deterioration in diastolic dysfunction is linked with increased aortic stiffness independently of age and sex. Further studies evaluating the effects of increasing physical fitness and lowering abdominal fat accumulations on LVDD in CCS patients should be considered.
