MRI determination of cardiac dimensions

  • Chapter
Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Coronary Artery Disease

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 118))

Abstract

The determination of cardiac dimensions is an important part of the evaluation of most cardiac patients. Measurements form the basis for evaluation of cardiac contractile function. The measurement of wall thickness is important for evaluation of conditions associated with cardiac hypertrophy. In patients with coronary artery disease, the determination of the extent of myocardial scar or of ischemic muscle provides important information in assessing prognosis and guiding management.
