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.

Multimodality Quantitative Assessment of Aortic Regurgitation: A Systematic Review.
Cardiol Rev
April 2023
Division of Cardiology, Toronto General Hospital, University of Toronto, Toronto, Canada.
We performed a systematic review on the agreement and reproducibility of 3 advanced imaging methods, 3-dimensional echocardiography (3DE), cardiac computed tomography (CCT), and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), for quantifying aortic regurgitation (AR) severity. Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases were systematically searched using the PICO model from inception to February 4, 2022, for publications that quantified AR severity with 3DE, CCT, or CMR. Measurement agreement and intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility results were extracted from each study.

Aims: Reliable evaluation of the severity and consequences of pulmonary regurgitation (PR) in patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is crucial to timely identify the need for pulmonary valve intervention. We aimed to identify the accuracy of echocardiographic parameters to differentiate between moderate and severe PR, using phase contrast cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) as gold standard.
Methods And Results: In this cross-sectional study, 45 TOF patients with both echocardiographic and CMR measurements of PR were enrolled.

Background: Overestimation of the severity of mitral regurgitation (MR) by the proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method has been reported. We sought to test whether angle correction (AC) of the constrained flow field is helpful to eliminate overestimation in patients with eccentric MR.
Methods: In a total of 33 patients with MR due to prolapse or flail mitral valve, both echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance image (CMR) were performed to calculate regurgitant volume (RV).
Post-myocardial infarction left ventricular pseudoaneurysm diagnosed incidentally by echocardiography.
Echo Res Pract

Department of Cardiovascular Sciences, Hammersmith Hospital, Imperial College London, NHLI, Hammersmith Hospital, London, UK.
Unlabelled: A 54-year-old male developed a left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (Ps) along the lateral wall of the left ventricle (LV), which was diagnosed incidentally by two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE) 6 months after an acute myocardial infarction. Color flow imaging (CFI) showed blood flow from the LV into the aneurysmal cavity and invasive coronary angiography revealed sub-occlusion of the circumflex artery. A complementary study using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) confirmed a dilated left ventricle with depressed ejection fraction, thin dyskinetic anterolateral and inferolateral walls, a Ps adjacent to the lateral wall of the LV contained by the pericardium and blood passing in and out through a small defect in the LV mid-anterolateral wall.

Background: Ventricular septal rupture (VSR), a mechanical complication following an acute myocardial infarction (MI), is thought to result from coagulation necrosis due to lack of collateral reperfusion. Although the gold standard test to confirm left-to-right shunting between ventricular cavities remains invasive ventriculography, two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) with color flow Doppler and cardiac MRI (CMR) are reliable tests for the non-invasive diagnosis of VSR.
Case Presentation: A 62-year-old Caucasian female presented with a late case of a VSR post inferior MI diagnosed by multimodality cardiac imaging including TTE, CMR and ventriculography.
