Multimodality imaging in patients with HFpEF: an expert consensus document of the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging #EACVI #MMI #HFpEF academic.oup.com/ehjcimaging/ad… @ESC_Journals @Cosyns @alessia_gimelli @ThorEdvardsen @VDelgadoGarcia @bogdan_popescu1 @JaeKOh2 
This expert consensus document from the #EACVI provides recommendations regarding how to determine elevated LV filling pressure in the setting of suspected #HFpEF and how to use multimodality imaging to determine specific aetiologies in patients with HFpEF @EACVIPresident
📌Mechanisms of LV diastolic dysfunction include impaired relaxation, attenuated restoring forces, and increased passive elastic stiffness that leads to elevated LV filling pressure
📌The presence of LV hypertrophy and dilated LA provides support for the #HFpEF diagnosis
📌The presence of LV hypertrophy and dilated LA provides support for the #HFpEF diagnosis
📌#whyCMR is the gold standard for imaging of cardiac structure and provides unique information about myocardial tissue characterization, such as the presence of scarring and fibrosis in the LV wall.
