Abstract

The term diastole comes from the Greek words dia and stellen, which together (diastellen) mean separation [1]. Normal diastolic function is left ventricular filling at normal pulmonary capillary pressure. Diastolic dysfunction is impaired filling of the chamber with a compensatory increase in left atrial pressure [2]. It is a result of impaired relaxation and increased stiffness (reduced compliance) of the left ventricle (LV). Instrumental methods for diagnosis are:
