Noninvasive imaging in congenital heart disease

Curr Opin Cardiol. 2000 Jul;15(4):224-37. doi: 10.1097/00001573-200007000-00004.

Abstract

Imaging algorithms in congenital heart disease, as in the patient with acquired heart diseases continue to evolve, with more and more information gleaned noninvasively. The emphasis will be on the newer aspects of imaging, not cross sectional echocardiography with color Doppler.
