What is acute systolic and diastolic heart failure?

  • Coronary artery disease.
  • Diabetes mellitus.
  • Hypertension.
  • Valvular heart disease (stenosis or regurgitant lesions)
  • Arrhythmia (supraventricular or ventricular)
  • Infections and inflammation (myocarditis)
  • Peripartum cardiomyopathy.
  • Congenital heart disease.

Is decompensated heart failure systolic or diastolic?

ADHF is most commonly due to left ventricular systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction, with or without additional cardiac pathology, such as coronary artery disease or valve abnormalities.

What is systolic heart function?

The left ventricle fills with oxygenated blood between heartbeats, then pumps the blood around the body during a heartbeat, also known as systole. If the left ventricle cannot fully relax, it cannot hold the amount of blood that the body needs.
