Diagnostic Imaging in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

Diagnostic imaging in adult congenital heart disease involves using advanced techniques like echocardiograms, MRI, CT scans, and angiography to create detailed images of the heart's structure and function. These tools help doctors identify and assess congenital abnormalities—such as holes in the heart or abnormal blood vessels—that were present since birth but may have only become problematic later in life. Accurate imaging guides treatment planning, monitors disease progression, and evaluates the effectiveness of interventions, enabling personalized care for adults with congenital heart conditions.
