This article reviews and discusses non-myocardial disorders that represent diagnostic challenges when evaluating patients for suspected heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction. This includes pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension, which is important to differentiate from post-capillary hypertension caused by left-sided heart disease. The impact of electrical disorders on LV diastolic function is also reviewed, and includes a discussion of left bundle branch, which has both a direct effect on LV diastolic function, as well as a long-term effect due to remodelling. Furthermore, evaluation of diastolic function in patients with atrial fibrillation is discussed. Pericardial diseases are reviewed as well as effects of a normal pericardium on diastolic function in failing hearts. Finally, the article reviews how valvular diseases impact LV diastolic function.

Diastolic dysfunction refers to impaired relaxation or filling of the ventricles during the diastolic phase of the cardiac cycle. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) is common in hypertensive individuals and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. LVDD serves as a critical precursor to heart failure, particularly heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. The pathophysiology of LVDD in hypertension is complex, involving alterations in cardiac structure and function, neurohormonal activation, and vascular stiffness. While the diagnosis of LVDD relies primarily on echocardiography, management remains challenging due to a lack of specific treatment guidelines for LVDD. This review offers an overview of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying LVDD in hypertension, diagnostic methods, clinical manifestations, strategies for managing LVDD, and prospects for future research.
