Hello doctor,
What is grade 1 left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction? The doctor recommended a stress echocardiography, and the conclusion mentions this condition. I can share the reports with you if needed. What are the treatment options for this? Are there any medications?
Please suggest.

In your case, it is grade 1, indicating mild diastolic dysfunction. Treatment involves managing underlying causes like hypertension and diabetes, as well as addressing symptoms such as dyspnea. The doctor has recommended a stress echocardiography to check for possible coronary artery blockages.
Hope this helps!
