About this episode
Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.
Guests: Jae K. Oh, M.D., Tahir S. Kafil, M.D.
Diastolic heart failure is also known as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Although we don’t hear the term all that often, it actually represents a fairly large percentage of all cases of heart failure. Some studies suggest it represents the majority of heart failure cases. Older adults are most commonly affected with symptoms similar to those of systolic heart failure. So how do we suspect diastolic heart failure? How should the diagnosis be established, and how does the treatment differ from systolic heart failure? Finally, what role do primary care providers play in the management of the condition? These are some of the questions I’ll be asking my guests, Dr. Jae Oh and Dr. Tahir Kafil, both cardiologists in the Department of Cardiovascular Disease at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss “Diastolic Heart Failure”.
