It means you are having lots of extra beats that are not all the same. Diastolic dysfunction usually means your heart is not relaxing fast enough during diastole. This is most likely related to a stiff ventricle from long standing high blood pressure. If you have EVER had a low blood potassium ask to be tested for primary Aldosteronism AKA Conn’s Syndrome.
