how serious is stage 1 diastolic dysfunction?
I just had an echocardiogram and was told I had stage 1 diastolic dysfunction in the left ventricle. He did not tell me anything to do about it other than to have another echocardiogram in a year. My blood pressure is normal and I have not had a problem with high blood pressure. I am T2 diabetic but my a1c was 5.9 and I control it with a low carb diet. No meds. All he suggested was that I monitor my blood pressure. Is there anything else I need to be concerned with? Will this progress? Can it cause other problems? Do I need to be more concerned? Any information on this would be helpful.
