Heart failure: The heart does not fill up as it should and its output decreases. This may lead to heart failure as the metabolic needs of the human body are not met: fatigue and shortness of breath...Ensue. A good way to start is to control your blood pressure.

Diastolic dysfunc: Tion is a common and benign finding seen on echo.You mentioned about heart hypertophy which is usually from hypertension. Unless u have symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath esp. With exertion, i won't worry about it. Get reassurance from your pcp or cardiologist. Take care! http://heartdisease.About.Com/od/livingwithheartfailure/a/diastolic_hf.Htm.
