Fig. 1From: Age-related changes of right atrial morphology and inflow pattern assessed using 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance: results of a population-based studyVisualization of atrial filling. Visualization of right atrial filling showed two patterns of inflow: In young subjects, formation of a clockwise-rotating vortex was observed. In older subjects, atrial filling was more turbulent and vortex formation was even absent in some subjectsBack to article page
