A member asked:
Hi, can you have both systolic and diastolic heart failure? and if so is this worse than just having one of them? can it mean heart failure has advanced if started with systolic the ended up having systolic and diastolic combined? thanks?

Heart failure with a normal ejection fraction (the percent of blood ejected by the ventricle with each heartbeat) is commonly referred to as diastolic heart failure and it implies an abnormally high pressure in the heart during diastole. If the ejection fraction falls below the normal range, that implies systolic heart failure. One can have both and both are treatable.
