Purpose: According to echocardiography reports, Fabry cardiomyopathy not only affects the left ventricle (LV) but also the right ventricle (RV). Until now no MRI studies about the effect of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) on the RV are available. We evaluated the effect of ERT on the RV.
Materials And Methods: In this prospective trial 14 patients with genetically proven Fabry's disease were examined using a 1.5 T MR scanner before ERT and after 13 ± 1 months of ERT. All patients underwent cardiac MR imaging and the RV/LV cardiac morphology and function were analyzed.
Results: At baseline examination the values were as follows: RV mass 31 ± 6 g/m (2), end-diastolic volume (EDV) 88 ± 13 ml/m (2), end-systolic volume (ESV) 39 ± 9 ml/m (2), stroke volume (SV) 49 ± 7 ml/m (2) and ejection fraction (EF) 56 ± 5 %. The RV mass and EDV decreased significantly after 13 ± 1 months on ERT (mass 27 ± 7 g/m (2), p < 0.05, EDV 76 ± 24 ml/m (2), p < 0.05), with no significant change of ESV (33 ± 13 ml/m (2)), SV (43 ± 12 ml/m (2)) and EF (57 ± 7 %). The LV mass (102 ± 26 g/m (2) vs. 94 ± 27 g/m (2), p < 0.05), EDV (76 ± 13 ml/m (2) vs. 66 ± 22 ml/m (2), p < 0.05) and ESV (29 ± 9 ml/m (2) vs. 23 ± 9 ml/m (2), p < 0.05) decreased significantly while the EF (64 ± 7 % vs. 66 ± 5 %; p < 0.05) increased significantly.
Conclusion: Besides the known beneficial effect on the LV, ERT improves RV mass and EDV.

Article Synopsis
- Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is the best method for analyzing right ventricular (RV) volume and function, but it often requires tedious manual adjustments after automatic measurements.
- This study aimed to test a simplified formula based on echocardiography (truncated cone-rhomboid pyramid formula or CPF) to quantify RV using CMR with fewer measurements.
- Results showed that while RV volumes calculated with CPF were slightly higher and ejection fraction (EF) lower than those obtained through standard CMR, the two methods had a strong correlation, indicating CPF's feasibility for RV analysis.

Prospective electrocardiogram (ECG)-triggered cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) is primarily utilized for anatomical information in congenital heart disease (CHD) and has not been utilized for calculation of the end-diastolic volume (EDV); however, the mid-diastolic volume (MDV) may be measured. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and agreement between ventricular EDV and MDV. 31 retrospectively ECG-gated CCT were analyzed for the study of the 450 consecutive CCT.

Purpose To develop an end-to-end deep learning (DL) pipeline for automated ventricular segmentation of cardiac MRI data from a multicenter registry of patients with Fontan circulation (Fontan Outcomes Registry Using CMR Examinations [FORCE]). Materials and Methods This retrospective study used 250 cardiac MRI examinations (November 2007-December 2022) from 13 institutions for training, validation, and testing. The pipeline contained three DL models: a classifier to identify short-axis cine stacks and two U-Net 3+ models for image cropping and segmentation.

Background: Some patients with pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) or a left ventricle dominant atrioventricular canal defect (LDAVC) with a hypoplastic right ventricle (RV) and univentricular (1 V) circulation may be candidates for conversion to either a complete biventricular (2 V) repair or a one-and-a-half ventricle repair (1.5 V). We sought to identify pre-operative cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) findings associated with successful conversion from 1V to 1.

Background: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is the most common form of acquired heart disease worldwide. In RHD, volume loading from mitral regurgitation leads to left ventricular (LV) dilatation, increased wall stress, and ultimately LV dysfunction. Improved understanding of LV dynamics may contribute to refined timing of intervention.
