Overview

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) may be helpful to evaluate the structure and function of the left atrium and left ventricle as well as the severity of the mitral stenosis when echocardiography findings are inconclusive. It may help in identifying changes in left ventricular volume and masses in patients with valvular dysfunction.

ACC/AHA Guidelines- ACCF/ACR/AHA/NASCI/SCMR 2010 Expert Consensus Document on Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

CMR may be used for assessing individuals with valvular heart disease in which evaluation of valvular stenosis, regurgitation, para- or perivalvular masses, perivalvular complications of infectious processes, or prosthetic valve disease are needed. CMR may be useful in identifying serial changes in LV volumes or mass in patients with valvular dysfunction.
