Other imaging modalities to assess prosthetic valve dysfunction

There are imaging modalities apart from echo that can aid in the diagnosis of prosthetic heart valve complications. In this chapter, we'll explore these techniques.
  • Introducing cinefluoroscopy
  • Using cardiac computed tomography
  • Introducing cardiac magnetic resonance
