LIMITATIONS
This study has limitations that should be considered. First of all, our study population consists of limited number of patients. Second, our findings do not represent healthy population, because our study only studied patients that referred to the cardiology clinic with cardiac complaints. Third, we performed this study in a lower socio-economic area that it affects cardiovascular status independently. Finally, due to lack of facility, we did not perform cardiac magnetic resonance measurements or measure brain natriuretic peptides that show more proper information about diastolic dysfunction.
