Abstract
Diastolic dysfunction can lead to heart failure symptoms if it causes elevated left atrial pressure. Diastolic function changes dynamically for example during physical exercise. That is why echocardiography at rest may not detect signs of left atrial pressure elevation. In this article, we present an outline of diastolic function assessment at rest, and indications for a diastolic stress test, its protocols and interpretation.
