CMR RV size assessment should include RV to LV volume ratio
Background The right ventricular (RV) size responds to many cardiopulmonary diseases characterized by chronic pressure and volume overload. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered the “gold-standard” for RV evaluation. The RV end-diastolic volume indexed to body surface area (RVEDVi) has been used for RV size assessment, but this parameter alone may not be sensitive enough to dete...
متن کامل3D Echocardiography of the LV and RV
The evaluation of the global and regional left ventricular (LV) function is an essential part of a routine perioperative TEE-examination. To date, the assessment of the LV ejection fraction (EF) is mainly performed by “eye-balling”, which relies on the echocardiographer’s experience and ability to visually integrate spatial information. Further limitations of 2D-TEE assessment of the LV EF are ...
متن کاملOccult RV systolic dysfunction detected by CMR derived RV circumferential strain in patients with pectus excavatum
AIMS To investigate the right ventricular (RV) strain in pectus excavatum (PE) patients using cardiac magnetic resonance tissue tracking (CMR TT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty consecutive pectus excavatum patients, 10 to 32 years of age (mean age 15 ± 4 years), underwent routine cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) including standard measures of chest geometry and cardiac size and function...
متن کاملRV/TLC% ratio: alternative criteria of normality.
Although the European Respiratory Society (ERS) proposes using percentiles or standardized residuals for reporting results of lung volume measurements [1], this approach has not been widely accepted, and percentages are still being used, mainly because calculations and interpretation are easier to perform. Our group has reported that both for spirometry [2] and total lung capacity (TLC) measure...
متن کاملMultiparametric CMR assessment of RV apical versus septal Pacing Study (MAPS) - preliminary acute hemodynamic findings
Background Controversy remains with regards to the optimal site for right ventricular (RV) pacing, with mounting evidence that RV apical pacing leads to accelerated deterioration in left ventricular systolic function both on the background of normal as well as already impaired ventricles. RV septal pacing is conceptually associated with a more physiological activation pattern and as such should...
