Non-Invasive Quantification of Ventricular Contractility, Arterial Elastic Function and Ventriculo-Arterial Coupling from a Single Diagnostic Encounter Using Simultaneous Arterial Tonometry and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

ConclusionNon-invasive assessment of LV pressure –volume and aortic pressure-flow relationships are both feasible and reproducible using simultaneous AT and CMRI. Methods permit assessment of load independent LV contractility, arterial function and LV/arterial coupling from a single non-invasive diagnostic encounter.
