Abstract

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) represents up to 50 % of all patients with heart failure. Cardiac imaging modalities play a central role in the evaluation of this syndrome. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers alternative and complementary applications to echocardiography for the evaluation of systolic and diastolic function. This report aims to highlight the potential role of CMR to identify specific aetiologies in HFPEF syndrome and to review the available CMR modalities for the evaluation of diastolic dysfunction.
