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

I have also been diagnosed with diastolic dysfunction, @tcokeefe. I'm wondering if you have any heart valve problems of if DD is your only heart-related diagnosis?
