Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In this issue of the Journal of Insurance Medicine, Dr. Clifford S. Hale reviews a frequent and important condition that we frequently come across during medical underwriting. The term "diastolic dysfunction" is often noted in echocardiography reports and this term gives rise to a lot of uncertainty in terms of how much emphasis we should put on it and how much rating that it should carry.
