CMR correctly diagnoses adult criss-cross heart, preventing cardiomyopathy misdiagnosis from misleading echo.

Multimodality imaging, particularly CMR, is essential for accurately diagnosing rare congenital anomalies like criss-cross heart in adults and preventing misdiagnosis of cardiomyopathy caused by misleading echocardiographic views.
May warrant CMR in adults with echo-suggestive cardiomyopathy and unclear anatomy; leaves open prospective validation of multimodality protocols.

Kruszelnicka et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Criss-cross heart (n=1). Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) vs. Transthoracic echocardiography was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance correctly diagnosed a hemodynamically uncomplicated criss-cross heart in an adult, preventing misdiagnosis of cardiomyopathy caused by misleading echocardiography.
