Diastolic Dysfunction and Diastolic Heart Failure
2000It has been shown that heart failure frequently occurs in the absence of left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, and diastolic dysfunction is considered to be the underlying cause for this phenotype of heart failure: isolated diastolic heart failure.

Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction and Diastolic Heart Failure
Annual Review of Medicine, 2004Thirty to fifty percent of patients presenting with signs and symptoms of heart failure have a normal left ventricular (LV) systolic ejection fraction. The clinical examination cannot distinguish these patients (diastolic heart failure) from those with a depressed ejection fraction (systolic heart failure), but echocardiography can.

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.

Cardiology Clinics, 2000
It is now recognized that a sizable portion of patients who exhibit symptoms of congestive heart failure have relatively well-preserved systolic function, but have significantly elevated LV filling pressures. This syndrome, termed "diastolic heart failure," is associated with various conditions such as aging, anatomic abnormalities, hypertension ...

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.

Diastolic Dysfunction and Hypertension
Medical Clinics of North America, 2017Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is characterized by alterations in LV diastolic filling, and is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events and heart failure. Hypertension is the most important risk factor for LVDD in the community and promotes LVDD through several mechanisms, including hemodynamic overload and myocardial ischemia ...

Diastolic Stress Echocardiography
2009The increase of left ventricular (LV) filling pressure (LVFP) is the most important determinant of dyspnea (shortness of breath) and even of prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure, independent on the values of LV ejection fraction (EF) [1, 2].

Evaluation of diastolic function
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, 2001AbstractAbnormalities of diastolic function are increasingly recognized as important components of the abnormal physiology in many patients with heart failure. In order to better understand the role of abnormalities of individual parameters or diastolic function affecting filling of the left ventricular a broader understanding of the relationship of ...

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.

Diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure: Mechanisms and epidemiology
Current Cardiology Reports, 2005Studies have demonstrated that diastolic dysfunction is frequently present in asymptomatic community-based individuals, especially in the elderly with hypertension, coronary artery disease, and diabetes. The presence of diastolic dysfunction is a predictor for the development of heart failure (HF) and confers a higher risk of mortality.
