Yes, the presence of diastolic dysfunction in an 82-year-old parent undergoing shoulder surgery warrants a discussion with the surgeon and anesthesiologist about potential risks. Diastolic dysfunction, where the heart's ventricles don't properly relax and fill with blood, can increase the risk of complications during and after surgery, particularly related to cardiac health.
