Cine magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is a new, rapid MR pulse sequence that acquires
up to 32 images per cardiac cycle at up to four levels of the heart within 4 minutes. In this …

Left ventricular hypertrophy is an important diagnostic and prognostic finding in children with
cardiovascular disease, but there are currently no well established criteria for its …

BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has shown excellent results for
interstudy reproducibility in the assessment of left ventricular (LV) parameters. However …
