Why the study?
Do fractional changes in right ventricular annulo-apical angles and TAPSE measured by MRI accurately assess right ventricular systolic function?
Do fractional changes in right ventricular annulo-apical angles and TAPSE measured by MRI accurately assess right ventricular systolic function?
Fractional θ angle change measured by cardiovascular MRI is a highly accurate and reproducible semiquantitative marker for detecting right ventricular systolic dysfunction.
