Real-time color-flow CMR in adults with congenital heart disease.
نویسندگان
چکیده
CMR is valuable in the evaluation of congenital heart disease (CHD). Traditional flow imaging sequences involve cardiac and respiratory gating, increasing scan time and susceptibility to arrhythmias. We studied a real-time color-flow CMR system for the detection of flow abnormalities in 13 adults with CHD. All 16 congenital flow abnormalities previously detected by echocardiography were visualized using color-flow CMR, including atrial septal defects (n = 4), ventricular septal defects (n = 9), aortic coarctation (n = 1), Blalock-Taussig shunt (n = 1) and Fontan shunt (n = 1). Real-time color-flow CMR can identify intra- and extra-cardiac flow abnormalities in adults with congenital heart disease.

Assessment of right ventricular function by treadmill exercise stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot
Background Cardiac MR (CMR) is considered the gold standard to assess right ventricular (RV) function in different scenarios, including cases of congenital heart disease. Moreover, an MR-compatible treadmill coupled with Real Time (RT) CMR has been developed for stress testing, and may be an optimal choice in this setting. The aims of this study were to determine the feasibility and accuracy of...
متن کاملAccuracy of large vessel flow evaluation performed by technologists in patients with congenital heart disease using cardiac MRI
Background Adults with complex congenital heart disease, such as Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) require annual follow up and accurate, detailed physiological evaluation by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). This is time consuming for the reporting radiologist with a large proportion of time taken up by multi-vessel flow analysis of the aorta and central pulmonary arteries. Technologists can s...

Cor triatriatum is an acyanotic congenital heart disease. We present a rare case of cor triatriatum sinistrum in a 6-month-old female infant who was presented with cyanosis and failure to thrive. The 2D transthoracic echocardiography and the Doppler color flow imaging showed a proximal venous chamber communicating to the distal left atrium through restrictive opening to the low-pressure, dis...
متن کاملAutomatic multi-vessel volume flow calculation with 4D flow CMR
Background Volume flow analysis is essential in the assessment of many cardiovascular diseases such as valvular regurgitation, intra-cardiac shunt, and complex congenital heart diseases. Clinically, CMR-based volume flow analysis is performed using 2D flow CMR. This requires user-dependent and time-consuming positioning of 2D planes in each vessel while the patient is still in the scanner. Prev...
