Diastolic heart failure is defined clinically when signs and symptoms of heart failure are present in the presence of preserved left ventricular systolic function (ejection fraction >45%).

Impairment of left ventricular (LV ... A and normal E:E'; elevated end-diastolic pressure (group 2) indicates normal age-specific E/A and high E/E' and confirmed by the differences in durations ...

At cardiac catheterization the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure was 11 mm of mercury, no valvular gradients were present, and the cardiac index was slightly reduced, 2.28 liters per minute ...

Dilatation of the veins promotes peripheral pooling of blood and decreases venous return to the heart, thereby reducing left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge ...
