Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diastolic dysfunction refers to changes in ventricular diastolic properties that lead to an impairment in ventricular filling (reduction in ventricular compliance)and an impairment in ventricular relaxation.A consequence of diastolic dysfunction is the rise in end-diastolic pressure.Systolic dysfunction refers to an impairment in ventricular contraction,resulting in a decrease in stroke volume and decrease in ejection fraction.An increase in end-systolic volume will also occur.
