Mar 14, 2016 · Adult patients with left-to-right shunting and enlarged right heart shown by transthoracic echocardiography should be further evaluated with MRI or CT (Fig. 13.14).

I’d like to talk about several methods for estimating blood flow and describe the effect of valvular heart disease and congenital heart disease on ventricular stroke volumes and flow.

Patients with a PDA usually have increased pulmonary blood flow. In these patients, Qp/Qs is typically less than one, because of the where the measurements are usually made in MRI. In …
