Valvular Heart Disease

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Contemporary Cardiology ((CONCARD))

Abstract

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can accurately assess cardiac structure and physiology vital in evaluating regurgitant or stenotic valvular heart disease. Its versatility in providing comprehensive anatomical and functional assessment in valvular heart disease stems from its ability to qualitatively and quantitatively measure flow volumes, velocities, and flow fractions in any oblique cardiac plane.
