German term or phrase: diastolische Compliancestörung
What is the English expression for this? Thank you in advance!

diastolic compliance disturbance OR disorder
Explanation:
diastolische Compliance = diastolic compliance (QED)
So the issue here is the best rendition of 'Störung'. 'Failure' sounds drastic, if not terminal.
https://dict.leo.org/german-english/Störung

Other possibilities with the three nouns in a more authentic English word order:
disturbance of diastolic compliance
disorder of diastolic compliance
loss of diastolic compliance (i.e. partial but not total loss)

agree  David Moore (X): Prefer "disorder"; as you say, "failure" is misleading

diastolic heart failure


Explanation:
The German expression itself does not produce many Google hits nor do possibe direct translations, so it might refer directly to diastolic heart failure. It's hard to tell without more context.

neutral  Lancashireman: In fact, there are 57 discrete instances of "diastolic compliance" on the worldwide web. Sufficient not to warrant creative translation of 'compliance' as 'heart'. Re 'failure' for 'Störung', this has been adequately addressed elsewhere on the page.
