How can grade 1 diastolic dysfunction be managed?

Question

Hello doctor,

I have had an echocardiogram. Can you suggest what I should do next?

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your echocardiogram report is normal (attachment removed to protect patient identity). One thing you may be wondering about is what grade 1 diastolic dysfunction means. Grade 1 DD indicates that your left ventricle is slightly stiffer than normal, which is typically due to prolonged high blood pressure. It can also be seen in obese individuals without hypertension. Therefore, if your blood pressure is elevated, it is important to manage it and consider losing weight and reducing salt intake in your diet. Otherwise, everything looks good with your echocardiogram. It is normal.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Take painkillers when the pain occurs. You can take Paracetamol. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with take the medicines with their consent.

Do not worry, the pain is not related to your heart; it is muscular pain. Avoid lifting heavy weights for a few days and try to reduce your weight.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.
