Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is currently the technique of choice for precise
measurements of ventricular volumes, function and left ventricular (LV) mass. The technique …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance has been utilized in the management and care of
pediatric patients for nearly 40 years. It has evolved to become an invaluable tool in the …

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

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to determine long-term outcome in adults with
congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA), with particular emphasis …

Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), a reference examination for cardiac
morphology and function in humans, allows to image the cardiac right ventricle (RV) with …

Our objective was to establish normal ranges of left and right ventricular mass and function
with cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and to determine gender differences. Seventy …

Background Male sex is an independent predictor of worse survival in pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH). This finding might be explained by more severe pulmonary vascular …

Background—The aims of this study were to validate MRI-derived right ventricular (RV)
pressure-volume loops for assessment of RV myocardial contractility and then to apply this …

Background—Patients treated for transposition of the great arteries by atrial redirection
surgery have a right ventricle (RV) that sustains systemic pressures long term. Late RV …

Purpose To compare right ventricular (RV) volume measurements and their reproducibility
between axial and short axis orientation acquisition techniques. Materials and Methods …
