Pulsatile blood flow through the cavities of the heart and great vessels is time-varying and
multidirectional. Access to all regions, phases and directions of cardiovascular flows has …

Background Phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is able to measure
all three directional components of the velocities of blood flow relative to the three spatial …

Tissue tracking technology of routinely acquired cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)
cine acquisitions has increased the apparent ease and availability of non-invasive …

Through cardiac looping during embryonic development, paths of flow through the mature
heart have direction changes and asymmetries whose topology and functional significance …

Objectives: We examined the relationship among biventricular hemodynamics, pulmonary
regurgitant fraction (PRF), right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) aneurysm or akinesia, and …

Background—Late morbidity and mortality remain problematic after repair of tetralogy of
Fallot (TOF). We hypothesized that fibrosis detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) …

BACKGROUND Helical and retrograde secondary flows have been recorded in the aorta,
but their origins and movements in relation to the arch have not been clarified. We set out to …

Objectives: The goal of this study was to assess the prognostic significance of midwall and
infarct patterns of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in aortic stenosis. Background …

This paper aims to provide information and explanations regarding the clinically relevant
options, strengths, and limitations of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in relation to …

Objective Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) experience increased rates of
mortality and morbidity in adulthood. This study was designed to identify risk factors for …
