Key result
Older age was significantly associated with altered right atrial hemodynamics, including increased turbulences (p<0.001), lateralization of caval vein axes (p<0.001), and decreased systolic blood flow.
Population
n=126 age-stratified sample of the population of Freiburg, Germany, divided into three age groups.

Age-related right atrial flow changes support age-adjusted 4D flow CMR references; leaves open clinical relevance in pathology.
Cross-Sectional (n=126)
p-value: p=<0.001
4D flow CMR reveals significant age-related changes in right atrial hemodynamics and caval vein geometry, providing reference values that should be considered when evaluating pathologic conditions.
Wehrum et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in General population (n=126). Older age vs. Younger age was evaluated on Right atrial blood flow turbulences and caval vein axis lateralization (p=<0.001). Older age was significantly associated with altered right atrial hemodynamics, including increased turbulences (p<0.001), lateralization of caval vein axes (p<0.001), and decreased systolic blood flow.
