Abstract
Introduction: Coronary atherosclerosis plaque burden independently predicts future cardiovascular (CV) risk. Abnormal diastolic filling of the left ventricle (LV), as evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), is also associated with a worse prognosis. Impaired diastolic function is an early sign of ischemic heart disease and there is contradicting evidence suggesting the relationship between diastolic function and atherosclerotic burden. The primary objective of this study is to determine the relationship between total plaque burden and diastolic function.
