Determination of diastolic dysfunction cut-off value by tissue Doppler imaging in adults 70 years of age or older: a comparative analysis of pulsed-wave and color-coded tissue Doppler imaging.

Of the 4 cut-off values, septal Ea by pulse-wave TDI (68% sensitivity, 86% specificity, 0.841 area under the curve) was the useful value to diagnose diastolic dysfunction in the current study, but it did not reach statistical significance ( Fig. 2 ).
