A pre-operative cardiac MRI confirmed reduced RV function (RV ejection fraction (EF) 35% - normal >50%), dilated RV, and reduced left ventricular (LV) function (LV EF 43% - normal >55%). He proceeded with a Nuss bar repair. Post-operative echocardiogram revealed improved RV function ...
As in similarity to the MRI, a contrast multidetector CT can also be used to reveal the cardiac regeneration after intramyocardial MSC transplantation. Computed tomography (CT) was invented by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, an English Engineer, and Dr. Allan Cormack, an African Physicist, in 1971. Firs...

MRI is generally considered the test of choice for evaluation of cardiac morphology since this technique does not require ionizing radiation. However, cCTA has been used extensively in preoperative planning for ablation procedures in the left atrium. The pulmonary veins and the intricate details of th...
If subsequently proven to be of comparable value in congenitally malformed hearts, the technique could guide the planning of reconstructive surgery. This would be an important advance, particularly in those complex lesions such as hearts with isomeric atrial appendages, where uncertainty still exists ...
