Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging serves as an advanced noninvasive tool for assessing hemodynamics and disease severity in valvular heart disease.
Provides an overview of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in the context of valvular heart disease.

May aid noninvasive valvular assessment; leaves open prospective validation against outcomes and guidelines.
the last half century, clinicians have employed several means to advance our knowledge of the causes and consequences of valvular heart disease. Invasive cardiac catheterization provided valuable information about hemodynamics, 2-dimensional (2D) echocardiography (echo) allowed direct visualization of the valvular apparatus and cardiac chambers, and Doppler echocardiography afforded a noninvasive tool for assessing hemodynamics and disease severity.
