Funded Activity Summary

Alterations in heart pumping function, or blood vessel structure, can limit the supply of blood and oxygen to the body. Wave Intensity Analysis (WIA) is a new way of characterising these interactions with great precision. Up until now, WIA has been performed in adult and animal studies using mainly invasive techniques. This project will develop a non-invasive method for WIA using cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging, to gain new insights into congenital heart disease in children.
