ABSTRACT

The consideration of left ventricular diastolic function should be an important part of a routine examination, especially in patients presenting with dyspnea or heart failure. In general, the common risk factor for heart failure is hypertension; therefore, it should be checked regularly. Cross Sectional Descriptive study design was used and the study was conducted in Social Security Hospital Lahore. Probability convenient sampling technique and Non probability convenience sampling technique were used and duration of study was 3 months. 150 patients of different gender, age and wall thickness of the left ventricle were used to check their variability and relationship. According to the results, males were at higher risk of dysfunction in diastolic heart function than female and this dysfunction was mostly commonly observed at the age of 40-49 and the walls of the left ventricle were thicked in 73% patients. Thus, the study showed that ventricular heart failure or diastolic heart failure is very general and is a common cause of death.
