Abstract
Impaired cardiac growth and function in children and adolescents after heart transplantation assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance
Highlights
Cardiac growth after heart transplantation (HTx) in children has been reported to be normal in the long-term follow-up
Impaired cardiac growth and function in children and adolescents after heart transplantation assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance
left ventricular (LV) strain measurements were performed using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) feature tracking (FT) software (TomTec, Germany) and were compared with a group of 46 healthy controls. Both LV and RV enddiastolic and -systolic volumes were significantly smaller in the HTx group compared to healthy controls while LV mass was significantly higher in HTx patients
Summary
The aim of our study was to evaluate ventricular volumes, mass and function in a cohort of pediatric HTx patients using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
