Intra-left ventricular flow dynamics in patients with preserved and impaired left ventricular function: Analysis with 3D cine phase contrast MRI (4D-Flow)

Abstract

Vortex formation during the diastolic phase may be critical for both LV filling and ejection. 4D-Flow showed the 3D alterations of intra-LV flow dynamics by LV dilatation and dysfunction in a noninvasive and comprehensive manner. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2016;44:1493-1503.
