Cardiac MR elastography (cMRE) can detect altered
mechanical tissue properties, which cause diastolic
dysfunction. In this study, time harmonic shear wave
amplitudes (SWA) were measured in 50 subjects including
30 patients with cardiac relaxation abnormalities by
cMRE for the quantification of the symptomatic and
asymptomatic ability of the myocardium to mechanically
relax. Compared to controls, patients displayed
significantly reduced SWA which was inversely correlated
to the severity of diastolic dysfunction. Best
cutoff-value to differentiate between volunteers and
patients was 0.43 yielding an AUROC value of 0.92 with
90% sensitivity and 89.7% specificity.
