Abstract
Early detection of LV diastolic dysfunction is crucial for the management of patients with heart disease. PC-CMR is increasingly used for this evaluation. However, its usefulness in clinical routine is not established yet because of technical issues such as the lack of automated post-processing tools. We hypothesized that the analysis of velocity and flow-rate curves extracted from an accurate segmentation of the transmitral flow would provide sensitive diastolic parameters.
