Diastolic dysfunction is a heart condition that affects the organ’s capacity to fill with an adequate amount of blood during diastole. Diastole is the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart ...

Diastolic dysfunction occurs when the left ventricular myocardium is non-compliant and not able to accept blood return in a normal fashion from the left atrium. This can be a normal physiologic ...

It addresses a widespread problem: the frequently inaccurate and constantly mutable diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction, something that has plagued echocardiography for 35 years.

Macrophages produce and respond to IL-10, a pleiotropic, fibrosis-related cytokine. Monocyte/macrophage-restricted deletion of Il10 improved diastolic function assessed by invasive haemodynamic ...

Diastolic dysfunction has been shown to be independently and strongly related to reduced exercise capacity in a new cross-sectional study, pointing to a potentially modifiable factor that might be ...

Mild to moderate diastolic dysfunction in an outpatient population referred for echocardiography was common in a retrospective study, and when it was moderate or severe, it predicted mortality ...

"But now, we can use the diastolic filling curve on a nuclear stress test to diagnose patients with diastolic dysfunction who have normally squeezing hearts." ...

Individuals with diastolic dysfunction (an abnormality involving impaired relaxation of the heart's ventricle [pumping chamber] after a contraction) appear to have an increased risk of death ...

After a stint as " diastolic heart failure," heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) now defines those with signs and symptoms of HF due to high LV filling pressure despite normal ...

However, the pulmonary edema may not have resulted from isolated diastolic dysfunction but, instead, may be due to transient systolic dysfunction, acute mitral regurgitation, or both.

Diastolic dysfunction refers to when the diastole part of this action is abnormal. The ventricles do not properly relax and become stiff meaning they cannot fill with blood properly.
