“…Patients were divided into five groups according to their LVEF levels: patients with LVEF Ն0.6, 0.5 to 0.6, 0.4 to 0.5, 0.3 to 0.4, and Ͻ0.3, respectively. LVEF Ͻ0.5 was considered as LV systolic dysfunction (14,15).…”

“…Several investigations consistently showed that OSA may contribute to the impair-ment of left-ventricular (LV) systolic function, leading to heart failure. [1][2][3] Echocardiography is the most common imaging modality used today to assess LV myocardial function; the most widely used clinical tool to quantify LV systolic function is the ejection fraction. However, most patients with OSA without other cardiovascular disease usually exhibit normal LV ejection fraction; nevertheless, they still may have subclinical LV systolic dysfunction.…”

“…4 Obstructive sleep apnea affects both ventricles and is associated with impaired ventricular function. 5,6 Noninvasive echocardiographic indices of systolic and diastolic ventricular function are of great clinical importance in the diagnosis and treatment of patients who have heart disease. The tissue-Doppler myocardial performance index (TD-MPI) has been proposed as a measure of overall cardiac function.…”
