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.

Hypertension and Diastolic Function
Drugs, 1993Abnormalities in left ventricular (LV) diastolic function in the presence of normal LV systolic performance is one of the earliest cardiac manifestations of systemic hypertension. Alterations in diastolic filling indices have been observed more clearly in patients with LV hypertrophy, although it is evident that these filling abnormalities may be ...

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 ...

European Heart Journal, 1994
Diastolic heart disease is common and appears to be the primary abnormality in a substantial proportion of all patients with CHF. The epidemiology and natural history of the condition appears different to that of systolic heart failure, resulting in significant morbidity although contributing little to overall mortality.
