First paragraph (this article has no abstract)

While a modest temporal resolution of conventional cine SSFP MRI (30–50 ms) is sufficient for calculating parameters characterizing LV systolic function, e.g., stroke volume (SV) or ejection fraction (EF), it is insufficient for characterizing diastolic relaxation phenomena via metrics such as isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) or Time to Peak Filling Rate (TPFR).
