Abstract

Valvular heart diseases fall into the domain of ultrasound. Doppler echocardiography permits an adequate study of valve dysfunction, including morphological and functional aspects. CMR has, thus, a complementary role in this field, which may become relevant in particular conditions, such as the accurate, quantitative assessment of regurgitant defects, for which it has advantages over ultrasound. A careful CMR study protocol including different sequences is required for this purpose, as explained in this chapter.
