Abstract

Serial changes in right ventricular (RV) size and function in the setting of chronic pulmonary regurgitation (PR) are not known. Nevertheless, consensus expert opinion recommends RV assessment by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) every two to three years. Associated left ventricular dysfunction (LV) is a poor prognostic marker and associated with sudden cardiac death, however again changes over time are unknown. The aim of this study was to determine serial changes in ventricular size and function in the context of hemodynamically significant PR.
