Diagnostic Value of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Parameters in Distinguishing HFpEF from Normal Cardiac Function

Key Points

Native T1 and combined strain parameters effectively distinguish HFpEF from normal function, enhancing diagnostic outcomes.
The evaluation showed native T1 demonstrated the highest accuracy in differentiating heart failure with preserved ejection fraction.
Retrospective analysis of cardiac resonance and echocardiography data focused on left ventricular function metrics.
These findings highlight the potential for early detection of HFpEF, which may improve patient management strategies.

Abstract

Motivation: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) poses diagnostic challenges due to its similarity in left ventricular function to that of healthy individuals. Goal(s): This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic value of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) parameters to differentiate HFpEF. Approach: A retrospective analysis of CMR and echocardiography data were performed on heart failure patients to evaluate left ventricular function, Native T1, extracellular volume(ECV), and myocardial strain parameters. Results: The results showed that Native T1 and combined strain parameters were effective in distinguishing HFpEF from normal cardiac function, with Native T1 showing the highest diagnostic accuracy. Impact: The findings of this study could improve early detection of HFpEF, leading to better clinical management and improved patient outcomes.
