TL;DR: Venous myocardial contrast echocardiography is a new method for myocardials perfusion imaging shown to accurately evaluate risk area and infarct size in the experimental setting of acuteMyocardial infarction and has recently become clinically available.

TL;DR: The decision of using neither general anesthesia withintubation nor sedation with without intubation was favored by the center’s CMR unit over examining the patients under general anesthesia or sedation, to avoid the effect of general anesthesia and sedation on cardiac function during CMR, decrease the C MR scan duration, and increase the feasibility of the CMR in the young age group between three and eight years.

TL;DR: Phase-velocity magnetic resonance quantifies differential pulmonary blood flow as accurately as the previous gold standard lung perfusion scintigraphy in patients with a single pulmonary blood source supplied by a subpulmonary ventricle.

TL;DR: Evaluation of the indexed net flow in the pulmonary artery and the overall function of the right ventricle best predicts the maximal exercise capacity in patients with Ebstein’s anomaly.

TL;DR: Right ventricular dimensions are the most significant factors associated with the development of VA in TOF and the number of surgical interventions is also related to an increased risk.
