MRI

Cardiac MRI is a useful tool for diagnostic of cyanotic congenital heart disease. Findigs on Cardiac MRI in cyanotic congenital heart disease include:

• 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
