title: [Application of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in congenital heart disease].
abstract: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CVMR) is the best non invasive imaging technique for the diagnosis of congenital heart disease (CHD) as it gives important information concerning anatomy and function of the heart in the same exploration. This method is useful for the follow up of the patient with congenital heart disease. The most important benefits of CVMR are the non invasiveness of the same and the lack of ionic radiation. The objective of this article is to demonstrate that congenital heart disease can be diagnosed with CVMR with a higher precision compared with other cardiovascular imaging techniques.
