: • 4D flow data of 10 subjects of the study population were included in the definition of an algorithm for automated mitral valve vortex ring extraction from 4D flow MRI (Kräuter C et al, MRM 84 (2020). ).• The impact of breath-holding on cine real-time volumetric function parameters was analyzed previously from 56 subjects of this study population (Reiter C et al, Eur J Rad 141 (2021). ).• Volumetric function parameters of 60 subjects were analyzed from native multislice 4D flow data and compared to cine real-time imaging (Reiter C et al, Eur Radiol 2023; ).• 4D flow evaluation strategies for assessment of transmitral and myocardial velocities were analyzed in 60 subjects with echocardiography as reference; a manuscript is currently under review in the <i>European Journal of Radiology</i>.
