Title: Correlation between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and left ventricular diastolic
dysfunction in non-obese adults: a cross-sectional study
Version: 5 Date: 09 Dec 2022
Reviewer's report:
Authors addressed most of the comments in this revision. To avoid confusions in understanding
of study results, this reviewer considers important to clarify the inadequacy of LVDD grading
by the echocardiographic tools used in this study.
The simplest solution could be the rewriting the corresponding statement in the study limitations
as follows: “….Fifth, we used E/A and E value to evaluate LV diastolic dysfunction. This
approach is unable to identify patients with Grade 2 diastolic dysfunction when E/A is in the
normal range (0.8< E/A <1, pseudonormal filling).[28] Therefore, more accurate methods will
be needed in the future….”
