Does phase-contrast cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging accurately estimate peak filling rate and E/A compared to SSFP cine CMR and echocardiography in patients?
Phase-contrast cine CMR with high temporal resolution provides a convenient and acceptably accurate method for evaluating left ventricular diastolic function.
Objective We investigated a practical method using phase-contrast (PC) cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to estimate peak filling rate and early/atrial velocity (E/A) as left ventricular diastolic function indicators. Methods Peak filling rate and E/A were estimated in 32 patients using PC imaging with high spatial or high temporal resolution and compared with those estimated using steady-state free precession cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography. Results Peak filling rate estimated using PC imaging significantly correlated with those estimated using steady-state free precession imaging despite apparent underestimation using PC imaging with high spatial resolution. The E/A estimated using PC imaging significantly correlated with those estimated using echocardiography. Conclusions Peak filling rate and E/A measurements using PC imaging with high temporal resolution is convenient and acceptably accurate, suggesting its potential for clinical use.
Komi et al. (Thu,) conducted a observational in Left ventricular diastolic function evaluation (n=32). Phase-contrast cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging vs. Steady-state free precession cine cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography was evaluated on Peak filling rate and early/atrial velocity (E/A). Phase-contrast cine MRI significantly correlated with steady-state free precession MRI and echocardiography for estimating peak filling rate and E/A in 32 patients.
