Late Gadolinium In RVOT Tachycardia - Research

•LGE CMR was extended to the sub-pulmonary in one patient(marked by star sign in case a)

Measuring Right Ventricle from Short Axis Image in Diastole

• The RV is a difficult structure to measure in short axis (SA)– Start at the right ventricular

outflow tract (RVOT)• Look for pulmonary

artery (PA) and the beginning of RV

• Terminate at apex

Measuring Right Ventricle from Short Axis Image in Systole

• Systolic images of the heart– Yellow represents endocardial

borders of RV• Heart is in peak contraction
