The evaluation of right and left ventricular morphology by CMR with comparison to recipient heart after heart transplant: a surgical perspective
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: CMR is considered the ‘gold standard’ for non-invasive LV and RV mass quantitation. To our knowledge, this information is soley based on animal and phantom data never having been prospectively or retrospectively validated in humans, undermining its credibility. This issue is particularly important for the RV having complex geometry ill suited for mathematical modeling, placing increased importance on accurate mass quantitation. The surest way to validate the accuracy and thus the true gold standard of CMR derived mass is through autopsy but obviously is not feasible
