I've been feeling a bit off lately and got a 2D echo. It says I have LV diastolic dysfunction type 1. I'm only 34. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?

LV diastolic dysfunction type 1 indicates that the left ventricle of your heart is not relaxing properly during the filling phase. In such cases, it is important to manage any underlying conditions that may be contributing to this dysfunction. Treatment may include medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5-20mg once daily or ARBs like Losartan 25-100mg once daily to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking to support heart health. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
