Due to demographic changes, the prevalence of cardiac conditions predisposing to diastolic dysfunction (DD) is rising steadily. The main focus of non-invasive assessment of parameters for DD has been on left ventricular strain alterations. In this prospective study, we performed strain analysis of all 4 cardiac chambers using cardiac magnetic resonance feature tracking in patients with echocardiographically diagnosed DD and compared the results to a healthy control group. Left atrial strain parameters proved to be the most potent predictors of DD and allowed for a clear separation between patients and age-matched controls.
