Diastolisk is a term used in medical contexts to describe things related to diastole, the phase of the cardiac cycle when the heart muscle relaxes and the chambers fill with blood. Diastole contrasts with systole, the phase of contraction during which the heart pumps blood out of the chambers. During diastole, the ventricles relax, pressure falls, and atrial blood flow contributes to ventricular filling. The heart’s coronary arteries primarily receive blood during diastole.
In clinical practice, diastolic function is assessed to evaluate the heart’s ability to relax and fill. Diastolic
