Question : What is reduced diastolic compliance found in 2d echocardiogram.

Answered by Dr. Sagar Makode (23 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
It's diastolic dysfunction

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Normal heart functioning consists of contractions and relaxations in between contractions. When this relaxation is impaired or slows down, it is called as diastolic dysfunction or decreased diastolic compliance. It's usually an age or hypertension related change or may be associated with any cardiac disease. This doesn't require treatment if patient is not having symptoms like shortness of breath etc. The underlying cardiac disease if present, should be treated.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.

Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be reversed

Detailed Answer:
It is extremely for it to reverse. If it's associated with some treatable causes then it may be reversed, but not in usual cases. And it's harmless in most of the cases.
