What Does Diastolic Dysfunction Mean?
On my recent echocardiogram they found diastolic dysfunction. I have just been super involved in extensive exercise this year and now my doctor is saying he is not sure my heart can handle it. What does diastolic dysfunction mean? I have also been diagnosed with Prinzmetal angina and was wondering the relationship between these two conditions. I went to the doctor because I was having a lot of chest pain, shortness of breath, and my left arm was going numb.
