The pumping function of the left ventricle depends both on its ability to empty and its capacity to fill at a low pressure. Diastolic dysfunction occurs when filling of the left ventricle necessary to produce an adequate cardiac output requires an elevated pulmonary venous pressure.

Diastolic Ventricular Interaction and Ventricular Diastolic Filling
Heart Failure Reviews, 2000Because the ventricles share a common septum, the filling of one may influence the compliance of the other, a phenomenon known as direct diastolic ventricular interaction (DVI). This interaction is markedly enhanced when the force exerted by the surrounding pericardium is raised (pericardial constraint). In health, in the resting state, we operate near

Early diastolic overinflation in diastolic mitral regurgitation
Journal of Echocardiography, 2012An 81-year-old man presented with exertional dyspnea at our hospital. An electrocardiogram was recorded, which showed 2:1 atrioventricular (AV) block. Transthoracic 2-dimensional echocardiography showed that the left ventricular (LV) wall thickness and wall motion were normal. Color Doppler echocardiography showed no significant valvular heart disease.

About 10 percent of children, adolescents, or adults with an innocent systolic murmur also have an “innocent” diastolic murmur, which may be either low pitched and apical, or high-pitched and basal. Tentative explanations are advanced.

Although the annual mortality rate for diastolic heart failure is better than that for systolic heart failure, it is still greater than that for age-matched controls. Five-year mortality rates are about 50% for patients with systolic heart failure and are about 25% for patients with diastolic heart failure.

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2004
Heart failure is a leading cause of hospital admissions in North America. Approximately half of patients with symptoms of heart failure have normal or minimally impaired systolic function and are therefore diagnosed, by exclusion, with diastolic dysfunction. The therapy of diastolic dysfunction to date is largely unsatisfactory.

Modeling methods have been employed to further characterize the physical and physiologic processes of filling and diastolic function. They have led to more detailed understanding of the effect of alteration of physiologic parameters on the Doppler E-wave contour as well as pulmonary vein flow.

Heart & Lung, 2008
Diastolic heart failure (DHF) is estimated to occur in 40% to 50% of patients with heart failure. Evidence suggests that DHF is primarily a cardiogeriatric syndrome that increases from approximately 1% at age 50 years to 10% or more at 80 years. DHF is also more likely to occur in older women who are hypertensive or diabetic.

Abstract The history of functional diastolic murmurs is reviewed. These murmurs are defined as murmurs not caused by valve stenosis, though usually connected with severe changes of cardiovascular dynamics. The phonocardiograms of 11 patients are presented and clinical and laboratory data of these patients are discussed.

Current Problems in Cardiology, 1992
Diastolic heart failure is a distinct clinical entity increasingly seen in older patients and requires special awareness to make the diagnosis. Although no single laboratory test is identified for making a confident diagnosis of diastolic dysfunction as the pathogenetic mechanism for heart failure, a constellation of echocardiographic and radionuclear ...
