Incidental finding of complete interruption of the aorta in a septuagenarian.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Assessment of right ventricular size and function is an important part of the clinical cardiac evaluation; however, these quantitative measures are challenging by echocardiography. Automated software could be useful in place of manual measurements and qualitative assessment. This study evaluates a semi-autom...
