Subjective Evaluation of Right Ventricular Systolic Function in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome: How Accurate Is It?
BACKGROUND The geometry and heterogeneity of the right ventricle in hypoplastic left heart syndrome makes objective echocardiographic assessment of systolic function challenging. Consequently, subjective echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular (RV) function is still routinely undertaken. The aims of this study were to compare this with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), investigate the...
متن کاملThe Correlation between Left and Right Ventricular Ejection Fractions in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease, Documented by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Introduction: The correlation between right and left ventricular ejection fractions (RVEF and LVEF, respectively) has been studied in only a small number of patients with a marked decrease in RVEF and LVEF. The aim of the present study was to compare LVEF and RVEF in patients with ischemic heart disease. RVEF and LVEF were measured by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging. Materials a...
متن کاملEvaluation of atrial volume and function with magnetic resonance imaging in hypoplastic left heart
Background Increased left atrial volume and reduced atrial emptying are predictors of adverse cardiac events in adults. The atrium in single ventricle hearts contributes to ventricular filling to a greater degree than in normal hearts. Standardized methods of determining atrial function in single ventricles are lacking. We aimed to assess the feasibility and reproducibility of quantifying atria...
متن کاملSerial Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome Gives Valuable Insight Into Ventricular and Vascular Adaptation
OBJECTIVES This study sought to investigate changes in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) ventricular volumes and vascular dimensions before hemi-Fontan (HF) and before total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) in children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS). BACKGROUND The systemic right ventricle (RV) in HLHS is subject to significant changes in volume loading throughout the surgical stag...
