Purpose To determine normative values for left ventricular (LV) volumes, mass, concentricity,
and ejection fraction (EF) and investigate associations between sex, age, and body size with …

Purpose. The aim of this project was to establish a database of left and right ventricular and
left atrial dimensions in healthy volunteers using steady-state free precession cardiac …

BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) enlargement is used as a criterion for the treatment
of RV outflow tract dysfunction in patients with congenital heart disease. Although RV …

Background Cardiac MRI has become a clinically useful supplement to ECHO and
conventional X-ray angiography in the diagnostic work-up of patients with congenital heart …

BACKGROUND: Measurements of left ventricular (LV) size, mass, and function are the most
common and important tasks for echocardiography in clinical practice and research in …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) has been shown to be an important
alternative to echocardiography and catheterization for diagnostic imaging in older patients …

Background—Operator-independent isotropic 3D MRI may greatly simplify the assessment
of complex morphology in congenital heart disease. We sought to evaluate the reliability of …

Abstract M-mode and 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiographic imaging are routinely used to
quantify left-ventricular (LV) size and function in pediatric patients with dilated …

OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess the feasibility, accuracy, and reproducibility of a rapid full
volume acquisition strategy using real-time (RT) 3-dimensional (3D) echocardiography …

Measurement of right ventricular volume and function by two-dimensional echocardiography
is unreliable because of the asymmetric shape of the right ventricle. The purpose of this …
