Abstract
Cardiac MRI is the accepted gold standard for the assessment of left ventricular systolic function. However, no standards exist for the MRI assessment of left ventricular diastolic function. We hypothesize that the superior morphologic assessment enabled by ultrafast ECG gated cine TrueFISP imaging will enable assessment of left ventricular diastolic function.

Diastolic dysfunction was defined as present when myocardial relaxation was abnormal or left atrial size was increased in the absence of overt mitral valvular disease or fluid overloaded status
Summary
Cardiac MRI is the accepted gold standard for the assessment of left ventricular systolic function. No standards exist for the MRI assessment of left ventricular diastolic function. We hypothesize that the superior morphologic assessment enabled by ultrafast ECG gated cine TrueFISP imaging will enable assessment of left ventricular diastolic function. Purpose The purpose of this study is to determine if morphologic assessment of the left atrial size coupled with assessment of left ventricular filling on ultrafast cine TrueFISP imaging is able to differentiate subjects with normal and abnormal left ventricular diastolic function
