Measuring myocardial extracellular volume of the right ventricle in patients with congenital heart disease

Abstract The right ventricle´s (RV) characteristics—thin walls and trabeculation—make it challenging to evaluate extracellular volume (ECV). We aimed to assess the feasibility of RV ECV measurements in congenital heart disease (CHD), and to introduce a novel ECV analysis tool. Patients (n = 39) and...
