Normal left ventricular (LV) diastolic function is needed to allow adequate LV filling during
rest and exercise with normal left atrial (LA) pressure. Diastolic dysfunction, broadly defined …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the reference standard for the assessment of
ventricular dimensions, function, and mass in terms of accuracy and reproducibility. It has …

Prevalence of heart failure with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction amounts to 50% of
all cases with heart failure. Diagnosis assessment requires evidence of left ventricular …

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is widely recognized as the most accurate
noninvasive imaging modality for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) function. By use of …

Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction and diastolic heart failure (DHF) account for
approximately 40–50% of all patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). Diastolic …

Echocardiography is the work horse of clinical cardiac imaging, not only because it is
relatively cheap to operate, mobile, and versatile, but also because it combines insight into …

Assessment of left ventricular (LV) function with cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging
is often limited to evaluation of systolic function, including analysis of regional wall motion …

This article focuses on the role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in
understanding the physiology of diastolic function and on the future applications of CMR as …

Left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD) is an initially asymptomatic condition that can
progress to heart failure, either with preserved or reduced ejection fraction. As such, DD is a …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is a tomographic technique, which
allows three-dimensional slice orientation without limitations from acoustic windows inherent …
