| Abstract | OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that, when measured in the long axis, left ventricular systolic function is abnormal in patients with diastolic heart failure. DESIGN A case-control study. SETTING University teaching hospital (tertiary referral centre). PATIENTS 68 patients with heart failure, 29 with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of > 0.45 and diastolic dysfunction (diastolic heart failure), 39 with an LVEF of |
