A member asked:
High diastolic pressure in heart found during cardiac catheterization, what does it indicate and/or is further testing needed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart pressure: This is likely diastolic dysfunction, which indicates a stiffness in the way your heart relaxes. The heart may also be thickened. Usual cause is hypertension, and it may be reversibile with treatment. Diastolic pressure at cath will also be elevated with an enlarged or weakened heart (heart failure). The doc that did your cath can explain why yours is elevated.

When does high blood pressure damage the heart at what systolic and diastolic pressures?
I suffer from high diastolic pressure which fluctuates between 90 and 99 mmHg. While my systolic is usually between 110-130mmHg. Moreover, my heart will beat 80-95 times per minute. Can I take felodipine and metoprolol succinate together for this?
Is there a heart valve disease that causes elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressures?
My bp was 100 over 90. If your systolic and diastolic bp numbers are close together, is this called a low pulse pressure and would that indicate a heart problem?
