Dwyane Smith30 Nov, 2021Health

Diastolic Heart Failure, a major cause of morbidity and mortality, is defined as symptoms of heart failure in a patient with preserved left ventricular function. It is characterized by a stiff left ventricle with decreased compliance and impaired relaxation, which leads to increased end-diastolic pressure. Signs and symptoms are similar to those of heart failure with systolic dysfunction.
