Images from electrocardiogram (ECG) tests to show heart function.

Those with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), in the middle column, have worse heart diastolic function.

Those with HFpEF but given a glucagon receptor blocker (right column) had improved heart diastolic function.
