In general, this is not necessarily the case. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction results from suppression of left ventricular function, leading to abnormal left ventricular performance. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction is a condition commonly observed in middle-aged and elderly individuals, with diverse etiologies. To prevent left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, it is essential first to understand its underlying causes.
