Overview
Overview
Diastolic dysfunction is the mechanical abnormality of the heart to properly relax and fill with blood during diastole. Several medical conditions may cause this to occur; namely cardiovascular conditions, genetic conditions, pulmonary conditions, rheumatologic conditions, and diabetes.
