Key result
Diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure, primarily driven by arterial hypertension, have a long-term mortality comparable to systolic heart failure and require Doppler echocardiography for accurate diagnosis.
This review emphasizes the role of Doppler echocardiography in diagnosing diastolic dysfunction and highlights that long-term mortality of diastolic heart failure is comparable to systolic heart failure.

Supports Doppler echocardiography for diastolic HF diagnosis with mortality comparable to systolic; leaves open optimal therapies.
Maurizio Galderisi (2005) conducted a review in Diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure. Diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure, primarily driven by arterial hypertension, have a long-term mortality comparable to systolic heart failure and require Doppler echocardiography for accurate diagnosis.
