Evaluation of adult congenital heart disease by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Congenital Heart Disease, 08/03/09

Marcotte F et al. – A review of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging methods for adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) focuses on practical and technical aspects and outlines a systemic approach for maximum efficiency.

Methods

State-of-the-art review as an overview of CMR examination methods
Description of various approaches and classic findings in common forms of ACHD
Summary of technical aspects of CMR imaging in ACHD
Primary focus on adult congenital caregiver (clinical, interventional, surgical) to highlight relevant practical considerations
Report of examples with intraoperative correlates to enhance clinical utility

Results

Systemic approach for CMR image acquisition is required to maximize efficiency due to requirements of time and pt collaboration (intermittent breath holding)
Thorough knowledge of ACHD anatomy and natural history essential to maximize image interpretation
Proficient scanning enabled by clearly outlined study objectives with prior documentation of interventional and surgical procedures
