Regional right ventricular function in rats: a novel magnetic resonance imaging method for measurement of right ventricular strain.

In conclusion, we show for the first time that global and regional RV myocardial strain can be measured robustly in rodents. Reduced RV strain was closely associated with indices of pulmonary congestion and molecular markers of RV remodeling. PMID: 31774693 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
