Preface
The last 10 years has seen explosive expansion of the number of centres performing cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging. The majority of this expansion has been in the field of adult ischaemic imaging, but congenital heart disease remains one of the main indications for CMR. Importantly, the greatly improved survival of patients with congenital heart disease gives us a burgeoning adult population living with the sequelae of the disease (grown-up congenital heart disease – GUCH). Without previous experience or formal training, the interpretation of CMR images of patients with congenital heart disease can be difficult. The main aim of this book is to create a portable resource that offers efficient access to high-quality MR (and where appropriate, CT) images of the common congenital and structural heart abnormalities. We hope that by providing key images for each condition and a clear interpretation of the MR appearances, we
