How we may know if hypertension cause Diastolic Heart Failure?

if we observe that as your heart works to pump against the increased pressure in your arteries, your heart muscle thickens to help your heart pump harder. This thickening of the heart muscle is called hypertrophy. Although hypertrophy can temporarily help your heart to pump against the increased pressure, eventually your thickened heart muscle will become stiff and less able to relax and fill with blood. When this happens, you may develop diastolic heart failure.

How we may know if hypertension cause systolic heart failure?

To pump against your high blood pressure, your heart has to increase the pressure inside your left ventricle when it pumps. After years of working harder to pump blood, your ventricle may begin to weaken. When this happens, the pressure inside the weakened left ventricle will cause the ventricle to expand, stretching out the heart muscle. This damaging process is called dilation, and it impairs your heart's ability to squeeze forcefully. The result is systolic heart failure.
