Reference values for right atrial and right ventricular morphology and function using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
Background The right ventricular (RV) morphology and function are important parameters for the diagnosis of cardiopulmonary diseases and serve as predictors for the longterm outcome. To date there are little data about right heart characteristics due to its complex anatomy. Since cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the gold-standard for the evaluation of left and right cardiac anatomy and funct...
متن کاملContrast-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging of right ventricular infarction.
OBJECTIVES We assessed the role of late enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (LE-CMR) for the diagnosis of right ventricular infarction (RVI). BACKGROUND Right ventricular infarction occurs in about one-half of patients with inferior myocardial infarction (MI). It is associated with an unfavorable prognosis, but established methods often lack the diagnostic accuracy to detect...
متن کاملVENTRICULAR FUNCTION Normal human left and right ventricular and left atrial dimensions using steady state free precession magnetic resonance imaging
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 magnetic resonance imaging, the clinical technique of choice, across a wide age range. Methods. 108 healthy volunteers (63 male, 45 female) underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging using steady-state free prece...
متن کاملReference right atrial function determined by steady-state free precession cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
BACKGROUND There is agreement that measurements of atrial volumes and ejection fraction (EF) are superior to atrial diameters for accurate determination of atrial size, follow up studies and prognosis. However, reference values for right atrial volumes and EF for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) have not been established but are crucial to identify patients with impaired right atrial fun...
متن کاملNew Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Reference Ranges for Right Ventricular Volumes and Systolic Function
Accurate quantitation of right ventricular (RV) volumes and systolic function provides important diagnostic and prognostic information in a wide range of conditions. In the case of heart failure, a preserved RV ejection fraction (RVEF) is associated with improved long-term survival. The most recent task force criteria for the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy require the presence of...
