Suggested key Echocardiography and Cardiac MRI measurements at diagnosis and follow-up
Suggested key measurements | Echocardiography | MRI | Also consider |
---|---|---|---|
Initial | TRV/TRPG RAP (by IVC) S’ wave velocity of the lateral tricuspid annulus Chamber sizes RVFAC TAPSE RV wall thickness LV function | RV and LV volumes (EDV, ESV, SV) RV and LV mass and mass index RVEF and LVEF LA volume Tissue characterization – DCE and/or T1 mapping | Stress echo TRV/TRPG in borderline cases RVEF by 3D echo strain analysis by echo or CMRI |
Follow-up | TRV/TRPG RAP (by IVC) Chamber sizes RVFAC | RV and LV volumes (EDV, ESV, SV) RV and LV mass and mass index RVEF and LVEF | RVEF by 3D echo strain analysis by echo or CMRI |
