Diastolic Heart Failure – Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis & Treatments

Angioplasty

There are many types of angioplasty. The main goal of these devices is to open or relax blocked arteries in the heart, which can be a cause of diastolic heart failure. This procedure might involve the insertion of stents. These are small tubes that can be used to open your heart’s arteries, thus lowering the risks of heart disease signs, such as heart attacks or chest pain. It often takes 1 to 3 hours to complete angioplasty, but you might need to stay overnight to recover. [15]
