Valvular Cardiomyopathy: The Value of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35242387/
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has had a vast impact on the understanding of a wide range of disease processes and pathophysiological mechanisms. More recently, it has contributed significantly to...
Conclusion: This review summarises the current evidence regarding the utility of CMR in the left ventricular assessment of patients with aortic stenosis or mitral regurgitation and its value in diagnosis, risk stratification, and management.
