Description

Increasing age is associated with echocardiographic indices of diastolic dysfunction, with higher mitral Doppler flow velocity A wave, lower mitral E/A wave ratio, longer mitral valve deceleration time and lower early diastolic peak velocity of the mitral septal annulus, e'. Diastolic dysfunction of aging was found to be independent of myocardial structure but was associated with plasma advanced glycation end-product levels.
