Excerpt

Ventricular fibrosis in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) has been shown to relate to adverse clinical markers.[1, 2] Novel free-breathing, motion-corrected late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE CMR) has been shown to be advantageous in quantifying LV LGE, but has not been evaluated for RV LGE. [3] It may therefore also be beneficial in ACHD patients, particularly with RV LGE patterns. We sought to investigate its clinical utility in ACHD patients undergoing LGE CMR. …
