In medicine and physiology, diastolic heart failure or diastolic dysfunction is "heart failure caused by abnormal myocardial relaxation during diastolic leading to defective cardiac filling."[1]

Up to 40% of patients with heart failure may not have evidence of systolic dysfunction.[2]

Diagnosis

Echocardiography for detecting diastolic heart failure among patients with left ventricular preatrial contraction pressure and normal ejection fraction[3]
Finding Sensitivity Specificity
Mitral annular velocity (E/e') > 13 mm Hg 70% 93%
Left atrial volume index (LAVi) > 31 mL/m2 78% 76%
Pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PAP) 80% 64%
E/e' or LAVi* 87% 88%
Notes:
* E/e' > 13 mm Hg or LAVi > 31 mL/m2 with E/e' > 7 mm Hg

Echocardiography may detect diastolic heart failure (see table).[3]

The the ratio of peak early (E) or passive diastolic filling and peak atria1 (A) velocities (E/A ratio) of < 0.6 is less sensitive.[4]

Echocardiography may grade the severity of diastolic dysfunction, parameters include:[5]

  • Mild:
    • E/A ratio <0.8
    • E/e′ ratio < 8
  • Moderate (grade II; "impaired myocardial relaxation with mild to moderate elevation of LV filling pressures"):
    • E/A ratio 0.8 to 1.5 (pseudonormal)
    • E/e′ (average) ratio is 9 to 12
  • Severe (grade III; "restrictive LV filling occurs"):
    • E/A ratio ≥ 2
    • E/e′ (average) ratio > 13

Treatment

Digoxin may reduce the combined outcome of death or hospitalization due to worsening heart failure according the results of the ancillary trial of patients with preserved ejection fraction in a larger randomized controlled trial of treating patients with heart failure.[6]

Prognosis

Diastolic dysfunction, even in the absence of clinical heart failure, increases mortality.[7]
