Abstract
In the past half century, there has been a remarkable improvement in the survival of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). We are now faced with a growing population of adult patients with a broad spectrum of simple to complex CHD. On the other hand, there have been major advances in the field of diagnostic cardiac imaging. Echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), and cardiac computed tomography (CT) are the basic imaging modalities for the evaluation of patients with CHD. Among noninvasive cardiac imaging modalities, CMR has an increasing role in the evaluation of adolescents and adults with CHD. CMR provides an unrestricted access to almost all components of the cardiovascular system; this is a utility often desired in patients with adult CHD, especially in those with complex lesions necessitating thorough assessment of the heart and arterial/venous great vessels simultaneously. Some of the well-established clinical applications of CMR in adult CHD are presented here.
