DD is due to thickened left ventricle walls and the rigidity of the walls prevent the chamber to relax sufficiently to adequately fill.  The pharmacologic therapies of choice for diastolic heart failure are angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, diuretics, and beta blockers.
