Excerpt
Exercise CMR is an emerging technique for understanding the effects of physiological stress on the cardiovascular system in health and disease. Accurate assessment of cardiovascular performance during exercise is challenging due to high heart rates and respiratory motion therefore new imaging tools are required for real-time measurement of biventricular function. In this study we evaluated the accuracy of high-temporal resolution real-time phase contrast imaging to measure cardiac performance during progressive exercise stress. …
