Background: Aortic regurgitation (AR) alters normal blood flow patterns in the left ventricle (LV), affecting diastolic filling dynamics, and is commonly quantified by the regurgitant fraction (RF). However, conventional diagnostic methods have notable limitations, prompting growing interest in four-dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging (4D-flow MRI ...

PURPOSE: Mitral regurgitation (MR) is the second most common valve disease in industrialized countries. Despite its high prevalence, little is known about its impact on the flow dynamics in the left ventricle (LV). Because of the interdependence between valvular function and hemodynamics in the heart chambers, an exploration of the dynamics in the LV coul ...
