Quantifies RA inflow dynamics in healthy adults; leaves open clinical translation to right heart assessment.
Right atrial blood flow in healthy adults is primarily rotational, forming a single coherent forward-turning vortex that helps maintain kinetic energy.
Dewhurst et al. (2020) studied this question.
