Age
18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Age = 18 years Written informed consent Scheduled for a clinically indicated contrast-enhanced cardiovascular MR that meets one of the three cohort definitions above

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Standard MR contraindications (ferromagnetic implants, severe claustrophobia, etc.) Contraindication to gadolinium contrast (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m² or prior severe allergic reaction) Hemodynamic instability requiring inotropic support or mechanical heart assistance Inability to give informed consent Pregnancy or lactation Participation in another clinical trial with an investigational device or drug that could interfere with the outcomes

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Mean difference in splanchnic blood volume among the three predefined cohorts (patients without diastolic dysfunction, patients with diastolic dysfunction grade II and patients with diastolic dysfunction grade III/IV)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Echocardiographic correlation: Association between SBV and key TTE parameters (e.g., E/e' ratio, tricuspid-regurgitation velocity) Exploratory correlations between SBV and routine clinical measures (e.g., NYHA class, blood pressure, body-mass index) as well as standard laboratory values (e.g., NTproBNP) Inter-/Intraobserver variability of SBV
