The impact of electrical disorders on LV diastolic function is also reviewed, and includes a discussion of left bundle branch, which has both a direct effect on LV diastolic function, as well as a long-term effect due to remodelling. Furthermore, evaluation of diastolic function in patients with atrial fibrillation is discussed. Pericardial diseases are reviewed as well as effects of a normal pericardium on diastolic function in failing hearts.

Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is common in hypertensive individuals and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. LVDD serves as a critical precursor to heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The pathophysiology of LVDD in hypertension is complex, involving alterations in cardiac structure and function, neurohormonal activation, and vascular stiffness. While the diagnosis of LVDD relies primarily on echocardiography, management remains challenging due to a lack of specific treatment guidelines for LVDD. This review offers an overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying LVDD in hypertension, diagnostic methods, clinical manifestations, strategies for managing LVDD, and prospects for future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":12026,"journal":{"name":"European Heart Journal - Cardiovascular Imaging","volume":" ","pages":"1525-1536"},"PeriodicalIF":6.7,"publicationDate":"2024-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141633028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
