Key result
Labelled magnetic resonance imaging using SPAMM showed radial shortening was twice as great in the endocardium (20.4%) than in the epicardium (10.2%) in normal volunteers.
Observational (n=5)
Absolute Event Rate: 20.4% vs 10.2%
SPAMM MRI is a feasible technique for assessing regional left ventricular function, with radial shortening appearing as a promising marker.

SPAMM MRI may aid research on transmural LV function; leaves open clinical adoption pending validation.
Buchalter et al. (1991) conducted an observational in Normal volunteers (n=5). Labelled magnetic resonance imaging (SPAMM) was evaluated on Radial shortening. Labelled magnetic resonance imaging using SPAMM showed radial shortening was twice as great in the endocardium (20.4%) than in the epicardium (10.2%) in normal volunteers.
