Cardiac MR is the most accurate non-invasive means to characterize a variety of congenital cardiovascular malformations.1–3 It also provides accurate hemodynamic measurements to detect and quantify a variety of valvular lesions as well as other lesions producing alterations of flow, such as coarctation of the aorta.2 Assessment of altered hemodynamics is an integral part of the investigation of most forms of congenital heart disease and thus hemodynamic investigations and congenital heart disease will be considered together in this chapter.
