Diastolic heart failure refers to a clinical syndrome characterised by symptoms and signs of congestive heart failure, with a normal or subnormal left ventricular (LV) systolic function associated with alterations in LV diastolic function. Diastolic dysfunction is a pathological condition during which the LV is unable to accept a volume of blood coming back from the lungs appropriate to maintain its stroke volume under normal filling pressure. Three eventually associated mechanisms are responsible for such dysfunction: impaired LV relaxation, increased LV stiffness and loss of normal atrial function. Prevention of LV hypertrophic remodelling should decrease the incidence of diastolic heart failure.
