Heart valve disease: investigation by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become a valuable investigative tool in many areas of cardiac medicine. Its value in heart valve disease is less well appreciated however, particularly as echocardiography is a powerful and widely available technique in valve disease. This review highlights the added value that CMR can bring in valve disease, complementing echocardiography in many are...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance in the evaluation of heart valve disease
BACKGROUND Over the last 25 years, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) has emerged as an alternative to echocardiography for assessment of valvular heart disease (VHD). Although echo remains the first-line imaging modality for the assessment of patients with VHD, CMR can now provide a comprehensive assessment in many instances. Using a combination of techniques, CMR provides informa...
متن کاملIschaemic heart disease assessment by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) related mortality has been on the decline, although its prevalence has been on the rise since the late 1970s. One of the contributing factors to this decline has been improved diagnosis and therapeutic management. Every clinician seeks to answer four key questions while evaluating patients with suspected or known IHD: What is the global ventricular function? What i...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging is image diagnosis in heart valve disease.
Mailing address: Marcelo nigri • Dr. Enéas de Carvalho Aguiar, 44 O5403-000 • São Paulo, SP • Brazil E-mail: [email protected] Received on 08/12/05 • Accepted on 10/17/05 In most recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been establishing itself as one of the major non-invasive complementary exams in Cardiology. Among the major benefits to be pointed out are the excellent anatomi...
متن کاملCONGENITAL HEART DISEASE Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in endocardial fibroelastosis
Endomyocardial fibroelastosis (EFE) presents in a primary form that manifests in infancy as well as secondary forms related to hypereosinophilia and leukemic disorders (1). Accurate identification has previously required endomyocardial biopsy, though cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is uniquely suited to visualize endomyocardial fibrosis noninvasively. We present a case demonstrating CMR...
