Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Right ventricular (RV) function is notoriously difficult to quantify. Patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have decreased systolic performance. We measure regional RV performance using MRI with 1-dimensional myocardial tissue tagging. By tagging cine-MRI in two views, we measured regional shortening in 12 regions throughout the RV. We image 32 pediatric patients: 21 normal patients and 11 patients with repaired TOF. We establish a normal range for each RV region. TOF patients have decreased shortening on a region-by-region basis. We conclude that regional RV performance can be measured using this technique, and that decreased performance can be demonstrated in TOF patients. |
