May complement echocardiography for valvular severity assessment; leaves open validation for surgical timing decisions.
Can MRI techniques accurately assess the severity of valvular heart disease and predict optimal timing for surgery?
MRI provides a comprehensive, integrated approach for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of valvular heart disease and ventricular function.
S⊘ndergaard et al. (1999) conducted a review in Valvular heart disease. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) vs. Established diagnostic tools was evaluated. Magnetic resonance imaging techniques provide qualitative and quantitative information on valvular heart disease, offering advantages over established diagnostic tools for assessing severity.
