Overview

Diastolic dysfunction is the mechanical abnormality of the heart to properly relax and fill with blood during diastole. Several medical conditions may lead to diastolic dysfunction and they include impaired myocardial relaxation, increased myocardial stiffness and extrinsic constraint on the heart.

Causes

• Diabetes
• Diastolic dysfunction
• Hypertrophy of the heart(for example, as seen in hypertension)
• Infiltrative diseases ( for example, amyloidosis)
• Ischemia
• Mitral stenosis
• Pricardial compression
