Introduction

Dysfunction of the heart during diastole. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is generally implied, but other disorders of the heart affect function during diastole.

Etiology

• left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
• atrial fibrillation
• atrial flutter
• mitral stenosis
• tricuspid stenosis
• aortic insufficiency

More general terms

• heart disease (cardiac disease)

More specific terms

• diastolic heart failure
• left ventricular diastolic dysfunction; heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)

Additional terms

• aortic insufficiency (AI)
• atrial fibrillation (AF)
• atrial flutter
• diastole
• mitral stenosis (MS)
