✦ Synopsis


Background

CMR measurement of mitral inflow velocities for the assessment of diastolic function is often infeasible in patients with dyspnea -patients who may benefit the most -due to their inability to breath-hold. Although real-time phase contrast (RT-PC) imaging may overcome this limitation, it has not been systematically evaluated. The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of RT-PC for the measurement of mitral inflow velocities against segmented PC CMR and Doppler echocardiography.
