Forest plots for effect of MRAs on echo indexes of diastolic function. (A) Changes in E/e'; (B) E/A ratio changes; (C) DT changes; (D) IVRT changes. CI, Confidence interval; DT, E-wave deceleration time; E/A ratio, the ratio of early to late diastolic transmitral flow; E/e', an echocardiographic estimate of filling pressure for assessment of diastolic function; IVRT, Isovolumic relaxation time; MRA, Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist; WMD, Weighted mean difference.
