text: The stiffness, which is usually due to heart disease, means that your heart doesn’t fill with blood easily.
text: That means your heart can’t fill with enough blood, and the blood backs up into the veins.
text: Over time, certain heart diseases cause the heart to become too weak or stiff to fill and pump blood efficiently, leading to heart failure.
text: The left ventricle becomes stiff and loses its ability to relax, and the heart doesn’t properly fill up with blood in between beats.
text: But heart failure can also happen when your heart gets stiff and can’t fill up with enough blood between each beat.
text: Because it can no longer relax, the heart can’t quite fill with blood between beats.
text: Another form of heart failure, called diastolic heart failure, occurs when the heart experiences relaxation impairment and is unable to fill with blood properly due to stiffening of the muscle.
text: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction: Also called diastolic heart failure or HFpEF, this type occurs when the heart is too stiff and doesn’t fill with blood normally.
text: The diastolic phase is when the heart relaxes and fills with blood.
text: ’s pumping ability is reduced (to less than 40% efficiency, down from 45% to 65% in healthy individuals), and one in which the heart pumps normally but is unable to relax and fill with blood between contractions.
text: Diastolic heart failure occurs when the lower left chamber of the heart, known as the left ventricle, is unable to fill with blood during the diastolic phase (when the heart relaxes and fills with blood).
text: Chronic diastolic heart failure is characterized by a stiffness of the left ventricle, which means the heart doesn't relax and fill with blood normally.
text: That means your heart can’t fill with enough blood, and the blood backs up into the veins.
