Heart failure (HF) is a clinical syndrome with multiple causes. Patients with adult congenital
heart disease (ACHD) typically have more than 1 substrate for developing HF, including …

The aim of this study was to assess the influence of the parameters of the coronary sinus
(CS) on the parameters that describe the function of the right ventricle (RV), which were …

Background Assessment of right ventricular (RV) function remains challenging because of
its complex geometry. Application of speckle‐tracking echocardiography (STE) to the …

Objective To evaluate differences in functional parameters and reproducibility between short
axis and axial slice orientation in the quantitative evaluation of the systemic right ventricle by …

BACKGROUND Patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) have a decreased
ability to compensate for demands on increased cardiac output, such as during exercise. In …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the right ventricle (RV) offers important diagnostic
information, but the accuracy of this information is hampered by the complex geometry of the …

Right ventricular (RV) volume and function evaluation is essential in the follow-up of patients
after arterial switch operation (ASO) for dextro-transposition of the great arteries (d-TGA) …

Background Normally, morbidity precedes mortality in pulmonary arterial hypertension
(PAH) and is assessed with recognized surrogate measures of survival. Cardiovascular …

To explore whether contrast agent administration will affect ventricular volume and strain
parameters measured on cardiac magnetic resonance cine images. This prospective study …

Introduction Our aim was to evaluate the reproducibility and accuracy of using short‐axis
and axial (transaxial) plane for magnetic resonance imaging analysis in adult patients …
