Abstract
Diastolic dysfunction was only evident acutely, post-RT with the use of newer methods like strain analysis. A significant reduction in diastolic function was seen in the patient subgroup with â¥Â 10% reduction in systolic function, enhancing the notion of diastolic function as a potential indicator for systolic dysfunction. Future longitudinal studies are required to determine the specific prognostic value of these observations.
