Objectives: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) remains the mainstay diagnostic imaging tool for the assessment of diastolic dysfunction.However, velocity-encoded phase-contrast imaging permits evaluation with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with excellent capabilities to assess blood flow and m...
