Cardiac diastolic dysfunction:basic and clinic researches / 中华实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Cardiac diastolic dysfunction (CDD)means impaired relaxation and compliance decrease of the heart,resulting a filling dysfunction of left ventricle and even cardiac remodeling.However,the systolic functions are usually normal.At present,original articles of CDD are studied less,but epidemiological studies do showed that the inci-dence of CDD is common in the population,also,CDD showed strong correlation with all cause mortality.Without treat-ment,CDD may progress into diastolic heart failure,recently,as known as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).Therefore,strengthen the understanding of CDD is significant in decreasing its incidence and improving CDD's prognosis.
