Excerpt

Pectus excavatum can cause right ventricular (RV) dysfunction due to extrinsic compression. Assessment of ventricular function by echocardiography is often suboptimal due to technical limitations. We utilized cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to assess pectus severity and RV systolic function in relation to the site of RV compression in a large pediatric pectus cohort. …
