Using a deep-learning tool for tracking the left ventricular valve plane on long-axis cine, markers of diastolic dysfunction could be easily evaluated, including e-prime, a-prime (atrial kick valve velocity), s-prime, and isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT). This analysis, performed in 23 patients with atrial fibrillation, revealed a dependence of both a-prime and IVRT on atrial fibrosis.
