Fig. 1From: Circulatory efficiency in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis before and after aortic valve replacementIllustration of the processing pipeline and the calculation of power and efficiency. After the initial acquisition of routine cine CMR and 2D/4D velocity encoded (VENC) CMR as well as heart rate and blood pressure measurements, image segmentation and the assessment of functional parameters is performed. These informations are required to calculate the mechanical circulatory power (CP), the left ventricular (LV) myocardial power (LVMP) and the resulting efficiencyBack to article page
