urpose : Right ventricular (RV) mass is very uncommon. We retrospectively reviewed characteristics of RV mass detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Objective : To describe types of RV mass, magnetic resonance (MR) signal intensity, and enhancement of RV mass in CMR. Setting : King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, a large medical school, tertiary care and cardiac center for treatment of heart diseases in Thailand. Research design : Retrospective review. Methods : CMR studies during Jan 1st, 2007 to July 31st, 2009 were reviewed. All patients who had RV mass were recruited. CMR findings were correlated with operative notes, pathology …
