@tcokeefe .
Your cardiologist is the best person to ask about the best treatment and/or therapy for diastolic dysfunction. Often an ACE Inhibitor med can be helpful but of course your doctor should make that decision. Do you currently have symptoms?
What treatments has your doctor recommended?

I am on valsartan. And the doctor has encouraged me to continue walking at least five times a week. I am also now on a statin to get my cholesterol down. I do not believe that is related to the diastolic heart failure. From everything various Cardiologist have told me, there are currently no treatments that can improve it or reverse it, but that the best thing you can do is to control your blood pressure and stay active
