Diastolic function may be frequently altered in hypertensive patients even when systolic cardiac function at rest is preserved.
Is it true that diastolic function may be frequently altered in hypertensive patients even when systolic cardiac function at rest is preserved?
Yes. Clinical and experimental evidence consistently indicates that diastolic dysfunction frequently develops in patients with hypertension even when resting left ventricular ejection fraction remains preserved.
Verdict: SUPPORTED · 3 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim states that diastolic function may be frequently altered in hypertensive patients despite preserved resting systolic function. Multiple retrieved papers directly support this, linking hypertension and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) as well as documenting diastolic alterations in hypertensive states with normal ejection fractions.
