Restrictive filling patterns in patients with reduced systolic left ventricular function: identification by velocity encoded magnetic resonance imaging Kai Muellerleile1*, Loant Baholli2, Michael Groth1, Achim Barmeyer2, Gerhard Adam1, Gunnar K Lund1, Thomas Rostock1, Ulf K Radunski1, Ralf Koester1, Stephan Willems1 From 2011 SCMR/Euro CMR Joint Scientific Sessions Nice, France. 3-6 February 2011 Purpose To evaluate the ability of velocity encoded magnetic resonance imaging (VENC-MRI) to identify the presence of a restrictive filling pattern in patients with reduced systolic left ventricular (LV) function. Introduction A restrictive filling pattern is an independent prognostic marker for an increased mortality in patients with reduced systolic LV function. The diagnosis is currently established by characterization of transmitral and pulmonary-venous flow using Doppler-echocardiography. VENC-MRI enables robust quantification of transmitral as well as pulmonary-venous flow.
for changed filling pressures. Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2-max) was assessed using spiroergometry.
Results There was a very good correlation between VENC-MRI and Doppler-echocardiography for the E/A ratio (r=0.86, P
