Overview

Cardiac MRI(CMR) is commonly used for long term management of Fontan patients.

MRI

Common advantages of cardiac MRI (CMR) in tricuspid atresia include:

• Assessment of cardiac anatomy and function with a high spatial resolution
• Assessment of complications of Fontan circuit
• Assessment of vascular anatomy
• Assessment of ventricular volume and systolic and diastolic function
• Assessment of flow velocity
• Assessment of myocardial focal fibrosis
• Assessment of thrombosis in Fontan circuit
