Difference between Systolic Dysfunction and Diastolic Dysfunction
Key Difference: In systolic dysfunction the heart is fails to pump blood. Simply, the heart is not able to pump with the pressure it used to. Diastolic dysfunction is when the ventricle fails to adequately relax and becomes stiff. This causes the ventricle to fill inadequately and the pressure of the blood to decrease. Systolic dysfunction and diastolic dysfunction are two different types of heart failure. These are two different ways the heart can stop pumping blood to the rest of the organs.
