Evaluate aortic valve stenosis. Left VentricleThe left ventricle is normal in size. The overall LV ejection fraction is 61%. There is no late gadolinium enhancement. No intracardiac thrombus.Left AtriumThe left atrium is unremarkable. Right VentricleThe right ventricle is normal in size. The overall RV ejection fraction is 59%.Right AtriumThe right atrium is unremarkable.Aortic ValveTechnical limitations prevent complete evaluation of the aortic valve.Mitral ValveThe mitral valve opens widely and there is no significant mitral regurgitation, but the severity of mitral regurgitation can be underestimated by the MRI pulse sequence used in this study.Pulmonic ValveThe pulmonic valve opens widely. There is mild pulmonic regurgitation, but the severity of pulmonic regurgitation can be underestimated by the MRI pulse sequence used in this study.Tricuspid ValveThe tricuspid valve opens widely. There is no significant tricuspid regurgitation, but the severity of tricuspid regurgitation can be underestimated by the MRI pulse sequence used in this study.AortaThe aorta is normal in size. There is a left sided aortic arch with a normal brachiocephalic branching pattern. No evidence of coarctation.Pulmonary VeinsAll four pulmonary veins drain normally into the left atrium.Pulmonary ArteryThe main pulmonary artery is normal in size.Venous AnatomyThe SVC and IVC are normal in size and drain normally into the right atrium.PericardiumThere is no pericardial effusion.Extracardiac FindingsNo significant abnormality noted. This study is not designed for the specific evaluation of extra-cardiac findings; therefore, the differentiation between artifacts and real extracardiac pathology may be difficult. If clinically indicated, a separate dedicated evaluation should be considered.
1. Nondiagnostic exam for evaluation of the aortic valve due to technical limitations. The patient has been contacted for repeat no charge examination for additional imaging of this region. Additional cardiac parameters and aortic valve velocities will be generated upon further imaging and will be listed as an addendum.2. Normal left ventricular morphology and function. No evidence of ischemia. The ejection fraction is 61%.
