Description: According to recent studies, tissue Doppler echocardiography used as a non-invasive surrogate for left ventricular diastolic pressures regardless of rhythm is likely to offer additional information beyond the clinical judgment and the B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) assay in the emergency diagnosis of acute heart failure with preserved left ventricular systolic function (HFPSF). The present study attempted to determine the usefulness of bedside tissue Doppler echocardiography as compared with BNP, both obtained at presentation before unloading therapy, for the prediction of in-hospital outcome in 75 consecutive elderly patients with acute HFPSF, of whom 16 died during their in-hospital stay. Unlike BNP (p=0.002), the spectral tissue Doppler-derived E/Ea ratio was not able to provide prognostic information in such patients before tailored therapy (p=0.9).
