RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Multimodality imaging in heart valve disease JF Open Heart JO Open Heart FD British Cardiovascular Society SP e000330 DO 10.1136/openhrt-2015-000330 VO 3 IS 1 A1 Chambers, John B A1 Myerson, Saul G A1 Rajani, Ronak A1 Morgan-Hughes, Gareth J A1 Dweck, Marc R YR 2016 UL http://openheart.bmj.com/content/3/1/e000330.abstract AB In patients with heart valve disease, echocardiography is the mainstay for diagnosis, assessment and serial surveillance. However, other modalities, notably cardiac MRI and CT, are used if echocardiographic imaging is suboptimal but can also give complementary information to improve assessment of the valve lesion and cardiac compensation to aid the timing of surgery and determine risk. This statement discusses the way these imaging techniques are currently integrated to improve care beyond what is possible with echocardiography alone.
