Abstract
Diastolic dysfunction and the clinical syndrome of diastolic heart failure have become well recognized as contributors to the overall burden of congestive heart failure. This increasing awareness has led to several recent investigations into the impact of diastolic abnormalities on morbidity and mortality. This article reviews the current state of knowledge regarding the prognosis of patient populations with diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure.
