VISUALIZATION OF FLOW DYNAMICS FROM PULMONARY VEINS TO LEFT ATRIUM AND LEFT VENTRICLE USING PHASE-RESOLVED 3D CINE PHASE CONTRAST MRI (4D-FLOW)

Flow dynamics from the pulmonary veins (PVs) to the left ventricle (LV) is crucial for global cardiac function and for a formation of thrombus at the left atrium (LA). 4D-Flow enabled us to visualize intra-vascular blood flow, but has not been applied to evaluate the intra-cardiac flow dynamics. We
