Abstract
The study of congenital heart diseases is one of the most complex topics, since it requires anatomical, physiological and surgical knowledge. CMR allows a better morphological and functional evaluation of congenital heart diseases (CHD) compared with echocardiography, due to the capability of performing unlimited sections without any limitation as for echocardiographic windows.
CMR is the gold standard for the estimation of biventricular volumes and functions and especially for the study of right chambers. More common CHD in adults are atrial septal defects, bicuspid aortic valves, operated aortic coarctation, tetralogy of Fallot and corrected transposition of great arteries.
CMR allows to evaluate the possible complications of surgical interventions for CHD and allows a careful follow-up of these patients.
