Zusammenfassung:Objective To evaluate the impact of 2016 ASE/EACVI guidelines on Diastolic Function (DF) reporting during routine clinical practice. Methods Transthoracic echos performed 9 months before and 18 months after the 2016 guidelines (DF2016) were retrospectively analyzed. Results Twenty thousand eight hundred forty three echos performed between July 1, 2015, and September 30, 2017, were analyzed. Quarterly trends showed a stable proportion of normal DF (nDF), diastolic dysfunction (DD), indeterminate DF (DF‐I), and nonreported DF (DF‐NR) for 3 quarters preceding DF2016. After DF2016 release, reporting of DD decreased by 57% (P
