The Adolescent and Adult with congenital heart disease: When is the Magnetic Resonance Useful?

Creators

Description

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) plays an important and growing role in the morphologic and functional assessment of the adolescent and adult patient with congenital heart disease and their post surgical sequelae. CMR allows a comprehensive noninvasive evaluation of the heart and chest without the limited acoustic window and field of view of trans thoracic echocardiography. This paper reviews the CMR technique and its clinical indications, followed by several representative teaching cases.
