Evaluation of Left Ventricular Function Using Four-Dimensional Flow Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT: There is increasing recognition of the value of four-dimensional flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (4D-flow MRI) as a potential means to detect and measure abnormal flow behaviour that occurs during early left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. We performed a systematic review of current literature on the role of 4D-flow MRI-derived flow parameters in quantification of LV function with a focus on potential clinical applicability. A comprehensive literature search was performed in March 2022 on available databases. A total of 1186 articles were identified, and 30 articles were included in the final analysis. All the included studies were ranked as "highly clinically applicable". There was considerable variability in the reporting of methodologies and analyses. All the studies were small-sca
