Question

I'm a bit worried after seeing the results of my 2D ECHO. It mentions "diastolic dysfunction present EA," and I'm not quite sure what that means. Could you explain it to me?

Diastolic dysfunction means that the heart is not able to relax and fill properly during the resting phase of the cardiac cycle. This can lead to problems with the heart's ability to pump blood efficiently. In this case, you may be prescribed medications like ACE inhibitors (e.g. Enalapril) or beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) to help improve heart function. The dosage will depend on your specific condition and needs.
