Non-invasively measured myocardial torsional modulus: Comparison to invasive evaluation of diastolic function.
Article in Journal of cardiovascular magnetic resonance : official journal of the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundLeft ventricular (LV) diastolic function is a key determinant of cardiac output and impairments of diastolic function can lead to heart failure. Assessment of diastolic function is challenging due to several factors, including the load dependence of ventricular filling. We developed a method using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to model the untwisting motion of the LV as a viscoelastic damped oscillator to derive myocardial torsional modulus (µ) and frictional damping characteristics, and hypothesized that the torsional modulus would correlate with invasive measures of LV stiffness.
methodsTwenty-two participants who underwent invasive left heart catheterization (LHC) and CMR for the evaluation of chest pain were evaluated. µ and damping constants were determined by solving a system of equations using CMR-measured LV geometrical and angular displacement data during diastole. Time constant of pressure decay τ and chamber stiffness β were measured from invasive LHC and CMR-derived volume data as comparison metrics of diastolic function.
resultsµ was correlated with chamber stiffness constant β and time constant of pressure decay τ, derived from invasive measurement (R = 0.78, p < 0.001, and R = 0.51, p = 0.014, respectively). µ was also correlated with pre-A-wave diastolic pressure (0.67, p = 0.001).
conclusionWe propose a new method to objectively evaluate diastolic relaxation properties of the LV. This method may have promise to replace invasive, catheter-based assessment of diastolic function.
