Exercise cardiac MR assessment of diastolic function

Background Dyspnea with exertion is a common symptom in patients with left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Assessing changes in systolic and diastolic hemodynamic parameters with exercise is necessary to thoroughly characterize these patients. Evaluation of changes in LV systolic function with exercise stress cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) has been demonstrated previously ...

Assessment of left ventricular diastolic function by MR: why, how and when

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), a valuable non-invasive technique for the evaluation of the cardiovascular system, has already been accepted as the "gold standard" for the assessment of systolic function. The assessment of diastolic function is important not only for diagnosis purposes, but also in terms of prognosis. ECG-triggering phase-contrast (PC) CMR allows the routine assessment...

Association between serum ferritin level and diastolic cardiac function in patients with major β-thalassemia

Abstract Background Prevention of myocardial siderosis is a key step to reduce rate of mortality in thalassemic patients. Our objective was to study association between echocardiography parameters and serum ferritin level in patients with major thalassemia. Materials and Methods Sixty-six patients with major thalassemia were studied in Amir Kabir hospital, Arak, Iran. Serum ferritin levels ...

Comprehensive echocardiographic assessment of diastolic function.

It is now recognized that 30% to 50% of patients who have symptomatic congestive heart failure have preserved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction [1,2]. Abnormalities in diastolic function not only assume a fundamental role in these but also relate to the severity of symptoms and prognosis in all heart failure patients, regardless of the cause [3,4]. Two-dimensional (2D) and Doppler echocar...
