Key result
Left ventricular relaxation depends on end-systolic load and volume, which must be considered when diagnosing diastolic heart failure in patients with concurrent systolic dysfunction.

Caution advised diagnosing diastolic HF with systolic dysfunction; leaves open validation of load-adjusted criteria in prospective studies.
