What does it mean to have a very mild dialostic dysfuntion and what do you do about it. I have no high b.p. and am thin. There is no reason they can find for me having this. Had thought it was a M.V.P. for years. I am a 60 year old woman, who has been on beta block for 20 years for irregular heartbeat but heart other wise seemed normal. Do suffer from bad I.B.S. I have had breathing problems on walking up stairs and hills. I am very out of shape even though i am thin. I. b.S. has kelp me from getting out as much as i would like. I feel very scared about the stiff heart because all i see is heart failure on the interenet. Thank you for any help.
Hi, Mild diastolic dysfunction is found in the majority of patients with arterial hypertension. AT this point you will not develop heart failure. One should have advanced diastolic dysfunction to develop heart failure. I would advise you to follow you blood pressure data strictly, also do physical activity that don't make you breathlessness and increase its duration and intensity gradually. Take fearsome back if you have any further questions
