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.
Abstract:
We used cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to demonstrate cardio-vascular anatomy and function in a 42 year-old man with a D-Transposition of the great arteries who survived a sudden cardiac arrest.
