Disclosed herein are devices and methods for addressing elevated left-sided filling pressures to mitigate the effects of diastolic dysfunction. The disclosed technologies decrease the temporal increase in blood flow and pressure into the heart from the venous system (which drains from the body). Under exertion, there is a shift of blood from the 'unstressed' reservoir of vasculature to the 'stressed' reservoir.
