Review
Diagnosis of diastolic HF may rely on clinical criteria alone; leaves open whether routine objective LV diastolic assessment improves outcomes.
Objective measurement of LV diastolic function serves to confirm rather than establish the diagnosis of diastolic heart failure. The diagnosis of diastolic heart failure can be made without the measurement of parameters that reflect LV diastolic function.
