Meaning and Clinical Context
The phase of the cardiac cycle during which the heart muscle relaxes and the chambers fill with blood, comprising approximately two-thirds of the cardiac cycle duration.
Diastolic function is assessed by echocardiographic parameters such as E/A ratio and e' velocity; abnormalities correlate with conditions like heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Category
Example in Use
English: Impaired ventricular relaxation during diastole leads to elevated filling pressures, a hallmark of diastolic dysfunction commonly seen in hypertensive heart disease.
Turkish: Diyastol sırasında bozulmuş ventriküler gevşeme, hipertansif kalp hastalığında sık görülen diyastolik disfonksiyonun bir belirtisi olan yüksek dolum basınçlarına yol açar.
Clinical Notes
Scenario
A 72-year-old female with long-standing hypertension presents with exertional dyspnea; echocardiogram reveals abnormal mitral inflow patterns consistent with diastolic dysfunction.
Response Template
The patient's diastolic parameters show grade II dysfunction with E/e' ratio of 15; consider diuretics and strict blood pressure control.
