    The study analyzed 300,828 adult transthoracic echocardiograms performed between 2013 and 2022.

  • 3

    Under the 2025 guidelines, 14.0% of studies were upgraded in diastolic dysfunction grading compared to the 2016 guidelines.

  • 4

    The proportion of studies classified as having normal diastolic function decreased from 78.9% under 2016 to 73.8% under 2025.

  • 5

    Older age, female sex, and higher left ventricular systolic function were associated with increased diastolic dysfunction grading using the 2025 guidelines.
