MRI Techniques in Adult Congenital Heart Disease

MRI techniques for adult congenital heart disease involve advanced imaging methods that provide detailed pictures of the heart's structure and function. These techniques include functional MRI, which assesses how well the heart pumps blood, and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), which visualizes blood vessels. They help doctors evaluate heart defects that were present at birth and how they have changed over time. MRI is non-invasive and does not use radiation, making it a safe option for monitoring heart health in adults with congenital conditions. This information aids in planning treatment and managing potential complications.
