	Diastolic Heart Failure Harry Rakowski, MD Download this document as a .PDF file.
	There are many reasons for Diastolic heart failure. Echo and Doppler are essential for its measurement.
	Diastolic heart failure is deadly and a disease of the elderly.
	Diastolic dysfunction frequently complicates these conditions. There is usually a progression from impaired relaxation to elevated filling pressures.
	In hypertension, the causes of decreased relaxation and increased stiffness are many.
	Progression of LVH and diastolic dysfunction in hypertension.
	Filling pressures that can be evaluated by Doppler studies.
	A normal mitral inflow and those with restrictive disease (bottom) may be similar. The whole story of diastole is not in the mitral tracings alone.
	Formula for wedge pressure in patients with decreased EF.
	Pitfalls exist everywhere in Doppler but can be categorized.
	Echo in Context
	To fully evaluate diastolic filling, multiple sites need to be sampled.
	Echo in Context
	Mitral flow looks normal due to the combination of impaired relaxation and elevated filling pressures.

	Abnormal right and left sided flow suggests biventricular diastolic dysfunction and infiltrative disease.
