Diastolic dysfunction is the primary cause of CHF in 40-60%
of patients with heart failure in the United States and has been shown to lead
to poor outcomes. Early diagnosis and
treatment of the causes of diastolic dysfunction is effective in relieving symptoms and
reducing mortality. The non- invasive methods which can be used to assess
diastolic function include cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. The
purpose of this educational poster is to describe the CMR techniques which can
be used to evaluate diastolic function and review the CMR findings of this
disorder.
