Overview
Magnetic resonance imaging can be helpful as a diagnostic tool in conditions where the echocardiographic findings are inconclusive. It shows apical displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve, arialization of the right ventricle and tricuspid regurgitation.
Magnetic resonance imaging
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be used as a diagnostic modality in the evaluation of the patient who is suspected to have Ebstein's anomaly if the echocardiogram is inconclusive..[1][2][3][4]
- It shows apical displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve, arialization of the right ventricle and tricuspid regurgitation.
Advantages of MRI
- It can be used in cases where echocardiographic results are inconclusive.
- Helps in measuring heart volumes, blood flow and ventricular wall thickness.
- The magnetic resonance angiography helps in better visualization of heart vasculature and measuring the size the pulmonary arteries
- Phase velocity mapping helps in measuring the ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow (Qp:Qs).
Disadvantages of MRI
- For successful MRI procedure breath holding is required, which is sometimes difficult to achieve with small kids.
- Some patients may become claustrophobic.
- Due to the above, the procedure is sometimes done under general anesthesia in children.
- There may be limited expertise to interpret the MRI as well.

| Class IIa |
| 1.. In adults with Ebstein anomaly, CMR(cardiac magnetic resonance imaging) can be useful to determine anatomy, RV dimensions, and systolic function. (Level of Evidence: B)
