Article
CT compared to MRI for functional evaluation of the right ventricle: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Right ventricular function (RVF) is a strong predictor of adverse cardiac events; however, the reference standard for RVF assessment, MRI, is limited in some patients for whom accurate evaluation of RVF is ess...
