Key result
CMR combined with echo provides comprehensive non-invasive evaluation for Ebstein's anomaly management and follow-up.
Why the study?
Does cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) improve the evaluation of patients with Ebstein's anomaly when used in conjunction with echocardiography?
Does cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) improve the evaluation of patients with Ebstein's anomaly when used in conjunction with echocardiography?
CMR is a valuable adjunct to echocardiography for the comprehensive evaluation and management of Ebstein's anomaly.
May support CMR-echocardiography combination for Ebstein's anomaly evaluation; leaves open prospective validation of surgical impact.
The diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly is usually based on echocardiographic findings; however, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can add useful information enabling a detailed visualization of cardiac abnormality, as well as a method of accurate physiological evaluation. CMR, in conjunction with echocardiography, offers a comprehensive non-invasive evaluation either for surgical management or ongoing follow-up of these patients.

Cantinotti et al. (2008) conducted a review in Ebstein's anomaly. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) vs. Echocardiography was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, in conjunction with echocardiography, provides a comprehensive non-invasive evaluation for the surgical management and follow-up of Ebstein's anomaly.
