Although total left ventricular (LV) stroke volume (SV) is equal in healthy subjects and heart failure patients with mild LV remodeling, the SV's transventricular flow paths to ejection and diastolic energetics are different. These flow-specific markers of inefficiency of the failing heart are detec

To investigate the relationship between age-related blood flow velocity and heart rate in the left ventricular inflow tract, we studied 118 healthy volunteers (age > 15 years). The maximal velocity (Vmax) of the transmitral diastolic flow during FIGURE 1. Illustration of a cross section of the left
## Abstract ## Purpose To develop a method for quantifying left ventricular (LV) internal flow as a measure of dyssynchrony using standard cine cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images. ## Materials and Methods CMR images were obtained from 10 healthy controls and 10 patients with dyssynchronous
