Overview

The prevalence of diastolic dysfunction has increased, although mortality rates have stayed the same. Diastolic dysfunction is more common in females than in males, and more common in the elderly.

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • There is an increasing prevalence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. [1] [2]
  • Death rates have remained unchanged.
  • The prevalence of diastolic dysfunction increases with age[3][4].
  • It is more common in women than men[5].
