Why the study?
Does global longitudinal strain by cardiovascular MRI improve risk stratification for cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
Does global longitudinal strain by cardiovascular MRI improve risk stratification for cardiovascular events in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction?
Global longitudinal strain assessed by cardiovascular MRI feature tracking correlates with extracellular volume and is associated with cardiovascular events in patients with HFpEF.

May support CMR GLS for HFpEF risk stratification; leaves open incremental value in prospective studies.
-terminal pro-b-type natriuretic peptide serum concentration, and right ventricular size and function. Conclusion In participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, global longitudinal strain at cardiovascular MRI was correlated with extracellular volume by T1 mapping and was associated with cardiovascular events.
