How to use MRI in cardiac disease with diastolic dysfunction?
British Journal of Radiology 2024 April 5
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 growing public health problem. Impaired relaxation, the first stage of DD, is associated with altered LV filling. With progression, reducing LV compliance leads to restrictive cardiomyopathy. While cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is the reference for LV systolic function assessment, transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with Doppler flow measurements remains the standard for diastolic function assessment. Rather than simply replicating TTE measurements, CMR should complement and further advance TTE findings. We provide herein a step-by-step review of CMR findings in DD as well as imaging features which may help to identify the underlying cause.
