The impairment of myocardial relaxation is a common finding in left ventricular diastolic dysfunction(LVDD)and is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. The electrical and mechanical domains of cardiac function are closely coupled. Consequently, subtle changes in the myocardial electrical milieu may lead to myocardial relaxation abnormalities. These small changes in the surface ECG frequency spectrum can be magnified using signal-processing techniques.
