Hi, lybrate user, Ventricle goes stiff to relax properly to receive blood from auricle causing abnormal ventricular filling during dystol as a result less blood is pumped out during sistol referred to dystolic dysfunction. Go for meditation to reduce your stress to calm your nerves to condition your ventricle to restore it's normal function. Your diet be easily digestible on time to check gastric disorder. Consult, privetly for a faster recovery, till, then take , homoeopathic medicine, underlying : @ Arjuna Q -10 drops , thrice with 2 tsfl of water. Avoid , junk food, alcohol and nicotine. Tk, care.

Yes it is. Decreased ejection means the heart is failing to pump adequate amount of blood to the body and the worst affected will be the brain as heart needs to pump blood against gravity. So there is a risk of stroke as well. Weight loss, low salt and low oil diet along with appropriate medications, is needed. But if the heart function deteriorates, assist devices will be needed to help the heart pump adequately.

Diastolic dysfunction refers to when the diastole part of this action is abnormal. The ventricles do not properly relax and become stiff meaning they cannot fill with blood properly. This causes blood to ?dam up? in other parts of the body. Pressure in the ventricles then increases as blood from the next heartbeat tries to enter. This leads to extra pressure and fluid building up in the vessels of the lungs (referred to as pulmonary congestion) or in the vessels that lead back to the heart (referred to as systemic congestion). Pulmonary congestion causes fluid or transudate to leak from these vessels into the lung alveoli, causing pulmonary edema. This condition hampers oxygenation of blood in the lungs, resulting in shortness of breath and (in some instances) even death if the condition is not discovered and treated swiftly. The systemic congestion has detrimental effects on other organs in the body such as the kidney and liver, as a result of poor organ perfusion. Swelling and congestion may also occur in the legs and within the abdomen. Diastolic dysfunction is a common problem, with many people aged older than 70 years having the condition. In the majority of cases, the condition is not severe enough to lead to diastolic heart. Symptoms and causes of diastolic dysfunction diastolic dysfunction itself often does not cause any symptoms. However, if the problem progresses to the point that it starts to affect other organs and body parts, diastolic heart failure is diagnosed. In those situations common symptoms include: difficulty breathing and shortness of breath. Initially, this may only occur when exercising, but as the illness progresses, breathing can become problematic during any activity, including resting or lying down. Unusual weight gain or swelling (edema) in the ankles, legs and abdomen. Irregular or rapid heartbeat. The main causes of diastolic dysfunction are: chronic hypertension coronary heart disease aging aortic stenosis ? the narrowing of a heart valve hypertrophic cardiomyopathy ? thickened and stiffness in walls of the heart restrictive cardiomyopathy ? where scars or deposits have led to stiff heart muscles diagnosis and treatment both the diagnosis and treatment of isolated diastolic failure often represent a challenge, since the symptoms can be very similar to systolic heart failure. It is essential to distinguish between these two conditions as the treatment for one condition can worsen the other. When diastolic dysfunction is diagnosed, it is by echocardiography (ecg), which enables assessment of diastolic relaxation and ventricular stiffness and thickening. It may also provide clues as to the cause of the problem. Diastolic dysfunction is treated by aggressive management of the underlying cause. Approaches may include: strict control of hypertension aggressive treatment of coronary artery disease careful management or arrhythmia the use of diuretics to control pulmonary congestion if the underlying cause cannot be identified, a doctor will consider the possibility of undiagnosed hypertension, in which case careful monitoring is initiated. Undiagnosed coronary artery disease is also considered, in which case exercising testing can be used as a diagnostic tool.

It happens with allopathic treatment that the only solution to such cardiac issues is told to be surgery and then lifelong medication. In my opinion, homoeopathy has a better approach for this. Cardiac diseases may be treated well and effectively with treating the underlying cause to get a permanent and sustained recovery. You may send us your reports here and schedule an on-call consultation about it. Take care :)
