Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameters are; - blood flow velocity (kinetic energy and turbulent kinetic energy) in the left atrium, left ventricle, over the aortic valve, in the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and the descending aorta - energy loss in the left atrium, left ventricle, over the aortic valve, in the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and the descending aorta - trans-valvular flow quantification of the mitral valve All outcomes will be compared to available reference values in healthy subjects. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Routine MRI parameters; - enddiastolic and endsystolic volumes - stroke volume - ejection fraction | — |
