title: Heart failure from diastolic dysfunction.
abstract: Heart failure from diastolic dysfunction is a clinical syndrome similar to, but distinct from, failure from systolic dysfunction. Because the standard cardiac diagnostic tools may not be helpful, the advance practice nurse and physician collaborate on the diagnosis. Interventions are aimed toward improving diastolic filling and reducing hemodynamic compromise for these patients.
