Cardiovascular magnetic resonance guided cardiac catheterisation – ready for clinical translation?
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is increasingly replacing diagnostic cardiac catheterisation for the assessment of cardiac anatomy and measurement of cardiac output. Nevertheless, diagnostic cardiac catheterisation is still required for measurement of intracardiac or intravascular pressure. In addition, catheter-based interventions, particularly for structural heart disease, are a major growth area. Conventionally, the imaging modality used […]
