Reference values for right atrial and right ventricular morphology and function using cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 function we sought to investigate and provide reference values for the entire right heart acquired in a large population of healthy volunteers.

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...

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...

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...
