Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has become an important alternative to
echocardiography and angiocardiography in the evaluation of patients with congenital heart …

Based on the phase difference method as described by Nayler et al. we developed a
gradient-echo sequence, which refocuses flow related phase shifts even for infants with their …

The following discussion addresses the assessment of cardiovascular anatomy in patients
with congenital heart disease by magnetic resonance (MR). The focus of this review is on …

Background—Left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy (LVH) in children is widely defined as a left
ventricular mass index (LVMI, g/m2. 7)> 95th percentile. However, LVMI increases with …

Abstract Background Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) of patients with
congenital heart disease (CHD) has become routine clinical practice. However, existing …

BACKGROUND: The utility of three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE) for right
ventricular (RV) assessment is uncertain in older children and adults with congenital heart …

Imaging-based evaluation of cardiac structure and function remains paramount in the
diagnosis and monitoring of congenital heart disease in childhood. Accurate measurements …

Background The objective assessment of global and regional cardiac function in children
has shown to be clinically relevant but is challenging to conduct. Cardiovascular magnetic …

The limitations of CMR (higher cost in comparison with echocardiography [but not in
comparison with other modalities], 3 lack of portability, limited availability, artifacts from …

Objectives: We sought to derive gender-specific cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)
reference values for normative left ventricular (LV) anatomy and function in a healthy adult …
