Age-related changes in tricuspid inflow: comparison between phase contrast MR imaging and Doppler echocardiography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Several echocardiographic studies demonstrated the agerelated changes in RV diastolic function. An MRI study supported these findings using SSFP sequences but to our knowledge, there is no such evaluation using PCMR images. Although blood flow PCMR imaging is less operator-dependant than echocardiography, which is strongly conditioned by the transducer orientation, postprocessing of these data remains time-consuming and precludes clinical applications. Accordingly, the primary goal of this study was to develop a reproducible and accurate method to assess RV diastolic function.

Diastolic function imaging: a comparison of real-time phase contrast magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with segmented phase contrast CMR and Doppler echocardiography
Background CMR measurement of mitral inflow velocities for the assessment of diastolic function is often infeasible in patients with dyspnea patients who may benefit the most due to their inability to breath-hold. Although real-time phase contrast (RT-PC) imaging may overcome this limitation, it has not been systematically evaluated. The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of RT-...
متن کاملNormal pulsed wave Doppler echocardiographic parameters of Turkmen horses of Iran
Turkmen horse is one of the oldest and purest breeds in the world, but there is no information on Doppler echocardiographic parameters in this horse. In the present study, pulsed-wave (PW) Doppler echocardiography was performed on 42 clinically normal 3- to 15-year-old racing Turkmen horses. No cardiac disease was detected with two-dimensional (2-D) real-time, M-mode, and colour flow mapping. D...

متن کاملEvaluation of tissue doppler echocardiography and T2* magnetic resonance imaging in iron load of patients with thalassemia major
Background: Iron-mediated cardiomyopathy is the main complication of thalassemia major (TM) patients. Therefore, there is an important clinical need in the early diagnosis and risk stratification of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of tissue doppler imaging (TDI) to study cardiac iron overload in patients with TM using T2* magnetic resonance (MR) as the gold-standard...
