Supports multimodality imaging integration in valve disease; reinforces guideline emphasis on complementary MRI/CT to echocardiography.
Does multimodality imaging (cardiac MRI and CT) improve assessment and care in patients with heart valve disease compared to echocardiography alone?
Integration of cardiac MRI and CT with echocardiography provides complementary information that improves the assessment and management of patients with heart valve disease.
Chambers et al. (2016) conducted a review in Heart valve disease. Multimodality imaging (cardiac MRI and CT) vs. Echocardiography alone was evaluated. Cardiac MRI and CT provide complementary information to echocardiography to improve assessment of valve lesions and cardiac compensation in patients with heart valve disease.
