Hi Blue. If your questions are going unanswered and you are filled with anxiety, it's time for another cardiologist. I wasn't happy with mine and I switched from a man to a woman. She listens and explains and always responds when I send an email through the portal.
Also, I have diastolic dysfunction and it's no joke. It caused pulmonary hypertension. Idk if DD is the same as abnormal diastolic function, but it sounds like it is. Diastolic dysfunction means the ventricle does not fill will blood completely so the heart has to work harder to push the blood out.
You are wise to do your own research and to be your own advocate. Just make sure your sources are reputable such as Cleveland and Mayo clinics. Please keep in mind that stress is your heart's enemy, so lots of deep breaths and herbal tea. If they offer you a beta blocker, take it. It helps.
Good luck on your journey and keep us posted.
