Overview
Cardiac MRI is noninvasive imagine for evaluation of cyanotic congenital heart disease whether determines myocardial function and area of fibrosis, direction of flow and velocity across the palliative shunt and valves, the anomaly of connection arteries and veins, correlation of anatomic and morphologic ventricles with great arteries in complex congenital heart disease.
MRI
Cardiac MRI is a useful tool for diagnostic of cyanotic congenital heart disease. Findigs on Cardiac MRI in cyanotic congenital heart disease include:[1]
- Assessment of turbulent flow in stenotic or regurgitant valves, septal defect, ventricular mass, chamber volume, ejection fracture
- Assessment of anatomic and phisiologic information of simple and complex congenital heart lesions
- Determination of blood velocity and blood flow gradients across the shunt and direcion of blood flow
- Determination the flow and anatomic relation of aorta and pulmonary arteries
- Evaluation of right ventricular dysfunction in patients with right ventricular obstruction and study the left ventricle of patients with transposition of great arteries
