Purpose: To evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) assessment by in-plane velocity-encoded magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Materials and Methods: In 14 patients selected for cardiac catheterization on suspicion of coronary artery disease and 15 healthy volun
Objectives: Magnetic resonance (MRI) velocity mapping was used to evaluate non-invasively the flow profiles of the ascending aorta in normal volunteers and in patients with an aortic (mechanical) valve prosthesis. Background: In patients with artificial aortic valves the flow profile in the ascendi
To evaluate the ability of velocity encoded magnetic resonance imaging (VENC-MRI) to identify the presence of a restrictive filling pattern in patients with reduced systolic left ventricular (LV) function.
Valvar stenosis causes accelerated and often complex non-laminar flow patterns that are sometimes difficult to assess quantitatively using 2D VEC MRI. We sought to evaluate the use of 4D VEC MRI for measuring flow velocities and volumes in complex flow conditions.
