Maybe; yes.: Early stages of diastolic dysfunction (heart stiffening) may be attributable to hypertension (high blood pressure) depeding on your medical history. If so, certain blood pressure medications like enalapril, lisinopril, (the "-prils"), or losartan, valsartan (the "-sartans") at RIGHT DOSE can reverse this condition over time. You are at stage 1 (earliest stage) so you probably don't have symptoms.
