Affirms CMR reference role in valvular quantification; leaves open prospective outcome-linked validation studies.
MR imaging is a valuable tool for the qualitative and quantitative assessment of cardiac valvular disease and ventricular function, complementing echocardiography.
Glockner et al. (2003) conducted a review in Cardiac valvular disease. MR imaging was evaluated. MR imaging provides quantitative evaluation of regurgitant or stenotic lesions and serves as the standard of reference for ventricular function assessment in cardiac valvular disease.
