Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diastolic dysfunction occurs due to abnormal diastolic filling of the ventricles leading to decreased cardiac output and heart failure. This condition is often associated with a variety of comorbidities including diabetes, cardiomyopathy, and obesity. Frequent premature ventricular contractions may contribute to heart failure but are not typically associated with diastolic dysfunction. Hypotension may be a symptom of heart failure but is not a comorbidity.
