Background Incidence of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is increasing and putting the emphases on comprehensive evaluation of diastolic function. Furthermore, diastolic dysfunction even in the absence of heart failure has been shown to have prognostic significance. American Society of Echocardiography and European Association of Echocardiography (ASE/EAE) 2-level decision tree using multi-parametric approach is comprehensive, however discrepancy between the LV filling pressures and LA volume index can lead to discordance and inaccurate assessment of diastolic function. Incremental value of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) to Echocardiography in assessment of diastolic function remains unknown. Aim: To assess incremental role of CMR derived LA volume index in classifying diastolic function by Echocardiography.
