My dad recently got his reports and he is diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy, generalised hypocontracility, mild mitral regurgitation, visual left ventricular ejection fraction 30% & left ventricular diastolic dysfunction seen. Can you please help me know about this condition and tell about the consequences and is there any solution. My dad is 59 years of age.

These episodes of flash pulmonary edema can be triggered by other medical conditions, including atrial fibrillation and other types of tachycardia (rapid heart rhythms), periods of hypertension (high blood pressure, especially systolic blood pressure elevations), and episodes of cardiac ischemia. Diastolic heart failure is diagnosed when a person has an episode of heart failure and subsequent evaluation shows that the systolic function of the heart (that is, its ability to eject blood with a strong pumping action) is normal. Diastolic dysfunction can be diagnosed by an echocardiogram, which can assess the characteristics of diastolic relaxation and the degree of left ventricular.
