Cardiology: Depends on your compliance with medications, exersize tolerance, coexisting diseases and many other factors. Your cardiologist is the best guide.

Diastolic dysfunctio: Not sure there is good morbidity data for that condition . Ask your physician if you have any other causes of pulmonary hypertension that may impact your prognosis.

No way to know: More people die with diastolic dysfunction than die of diastolic dysfunction. Only a doctor with access to your heart cath and exercise testing results can really make a meaningful prediction of your life expectancy and even then accuracy is questionable.
