Pediatric cardiac MRI: anatomy and function

Author: Rajesh Krishnamurthy

Published in: Pediatric Radiology | Special Issue 2/2008

Excerpt

The current diagnostic and therapeutic approach to congenital heart disease (CHD) is based on the segmental approach to heart disease, as elucidated by Richard Van Praagh [1], which comprises the following steps:

Anatomic type of the three major cardiac segments: The viscero-atrial situs, ventricles, and great arteries.

Connections between the major segments.

Associated malformations.

How the segmental combinations and connections, with the associated malformations, function.

…
