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 …

Objective. The assessment of right ventricular (RV) size and function is important in the
management of many patients with heart disease. Although magnetic resonance imaging …

Assessment of right ventricular (RV) function is clinically relevant in the follow-up of various
forms of congenital heart disease. Agreement on the value of different echocardiographic …

In clinical treatment of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) assessment of right
ventricular (RV) function is important. Available imaging techniques have been of limited …

Background The method used to delineate the boundary of the right ventricle (RV), relative
to the trabeculations and papillary muscles in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether right ventricular (RV)
volumes are more accurately and reproducibly measured by cardiac magnetic resonance …

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 …

Purpose In congenital heart disease, the exact determination of the right ventricular function
is of high importance for therapeutic and especially surgical planning. The aim of this study …

Background Right ventricular ejection fraction (RV-EF) has traditionally been used to
measure and compare RV function serially over time, but may be a relatively insensitive …

Background Three dimensional echo is a relatively new technique which may offer a rapid
alternative for the examination of the right heart. However its role in patients with non …
