U.S., May 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07561151) titled 'Assessment of Left Atrial Size and Function by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance' on April 16.
Brief Summary: Left atrial (LA) size and function are powerful prognostic markers in a variety of clinical conditions. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered the gold-standard to assess the volumes of heart chambers by contouring cavity borders at end-diastole and end-systole from a short-axis cine stack. This method is routinely used to measure ventricular volumes and ejection fraction, but has never been implemented for LA volume measurements, due to the need of a significant lengthening of both CMR acquisition and post-processing times. ...
