Peak early diastolic strain rates significantly decreased with diastolic dysfunction, while peak late diastolic strain rates were higher with grade 1 diastolic dysfunction compared to normal function, but progressively decreased as severity of dysfunction increased.

In this new study by Yeo et al. participants, either asymptomatic or with a variety of cardiovascular conditions, were prospectively enrolled. Degree of diastolic dysfunction was assessed by echocardiography and strain evaluation was performed via cardiac MRI FT.

How diastolic strain rates change across a spectrum of grades of diastolic dysfunction and whether this change is associated with cardiac remodeling is unknown, until now! Let’s see..

New @RadiologyCTI publication alert 🚨from @UoLCVS pubs.rsna.org/doi/10.1148/...
Diastolic function can be assessed with 🫀 MRI, but what if MRI feature tracking (FT) was able to provide metrics that correlate with diastolic dysfunction severity?
