Hemodynamic forces using 4D flow MRI: an independent biomarker of cardiac function in heart failure with left ventricular dyssynchrony?

Conclusion Hemodynamic forces by 4D flow represents a new approach to quantification of left ventricular dyssynchrony. Diastolic force patterns separate healthy from diseased ventricles. Different force patterns in patients indicates possible use of force analysis for risk stratification and CRT implantation guidance. PMID: 30216113 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
