Insights

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) visualized heart anatomy and function in a patient with D-Transposition of the great arteries after sudden cardiac arrest. This imaging technique is valuable for assessing complex congenital heart disease in adults.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Congenital Heart Disease

Background:

  • D-Transposition of the great arteries is a complex congenital heart defect.
  • Sudden cardiac arrest survivors require thorough cardiovascular assessment.
  • Assessing cardiovascular anatomy and function is crucial for managing complex heart conditions.
