Abstract
Small variations in left-ventricular preload due to respiration produce measurable changes in cardiac function in normal subjects. We show that this mechanism is altered in patients with reduced ejection fraction (EF), hypertrophy, or volume-loaded right ventricle (RV). We propose a multi-dimensional retrospective image reconstruction, based on an adaptive, soft classification of data into respiratory and cardiac phases, to study these effects.Entities:
