Clinical Scorecard: What Changes Under 2025 ASE Diastolic Function Criteria?

At a Glance

CategoryDetail
ConditionDiastolic Dysfunction
Key MechanismsEvaluation of diastolic function using echocardiography
Target PopulationAdults undergoing transthoracic echocardiograms
Care SettingEchocardiography laboratories

Key Highlights

  • 20.1% of echocardiograms received different diastolic function grades under 2025 guidelines
  • 14.0% of studies were upgraded in diastolic dysfunction grading
  • 73.8% classified as normal diastolic function under 2025 guidelines
  • Older age, female sex, and higher left ventricular systolic function associated with increased grading
  • Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction increased from 11.9% to 15.7% under new criteria

Guideline-Based Recommendations

Diagnosis

  • Apply 2025 ASE diastolic function grading algorithm for assessment

Management

  • Consider demographic and clinical characteristics in grading

Monitoring & Follow-up

  • Regularly evaluate echocardiograms for changes in diastolic function grading

Risks

  • Increased classification of diastolic dysfunction may affect patient management

Patient & Prescribing Data

Adults with echocardiographic evaluations

Changes in diastolic function grading may influence treatment decisions

Clinical Best Practices

  • Utilize updated guidelines for accurate diastolic function assessment
  • Incorporate demographic factors in echocardiographic evaluations
