Single‐breathhold, four‐dimensional, quantitative assessment of LV and RV function using triggered, real‐time, steady‐state free precession MRI in heart failure patients

Abstract

In patients with heart failure, real-time, spiral SSFP allows rapid and accurate assessment of RV and LV function in a single-breath hold. Using the same strategy, increased temporal resolution will allow real-time assessment of cardiac wall motion during stress studies.
