Quantitative criteria for the diagnosis of the congenital absence of pericardium by cardiac magnetic resonance

Highlights • We research quantitative criteria for the diagnosis of pericardial absence. • We examine systo-diastolic whole-heart volume change (WHVC) and cardio-vertebral angle. • WHVC distinguishes perfectly pericardial agenesis from controls (cut-off >13%). • WHVC is higher in pericardial abse...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • We research quantitative criteria for the diagnosis of pericardial absence. • We examine systo-diastolic whole-heart volume change (WHVC) and cardio-vertebral angle. • WHVC distinguishes perfectly pericardial agenesis from controls (cut-off >13%). • WHVC is higher in pericardial absence than hypertrophic and dilated cardiomyopathy. • WHVC is higher in pericardial absence than in right ventricular overload.
