New Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Reference Ranges for Right Ventricular Volumes and Systolic Function
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 abnormal measurements of RV end-diastolic volume or RVEF to fulfil the major imaging criterion for diagnosis of the condition. In pulmonary arterial hypertension, increased RV end-diastolic volume and decreased RV stroke volume independently predict mortality and after myocardial infarction, RV function is an independent prognostic marker of clinical outcome.

The 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 کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
متن کاملNormalized left ventricular systolic and diastolic function by steady state free precession cardiovascular magnetic resonance.
We used state of the art CMR to define ranges for normal left ventricular volumes and systolic/diastolic function normalized to the influence of gender, body surface area and age. New CMR normalized ranges were modeled and displayed in graphical form for clinical use, with normalization for body surface area, gender, and age. The determination of normality, or the severity of abnormality, depen...

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...
