- Abstract:
- Background: While echocardiography is the established standard method for non-invasive assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is increasingly gaining importance in the evaluation of diastolic dysfunction. 4D flow MRI in particular, which allows the simultaneous acquisition of volumetric and flow parameters from a single measurement, offers new options for standardized assessment of LV diastolic metrics. The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the feasibility and the accuracy of 4D flow MRI-based diagnosis and grading of LV diastolic dysfunction using echocardiography as the reference method.
