Abstract
Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is currently suitable to guide diagnostic MRI cardiovascular catheterization in patients. This approach is attractive to characterize haemodynamics and function concurrently, especially in the evaluation of cardiomyopathy and pulmonary artery hypertension. Safe clinical guidewires are entering commercial distribution and, combined with passive catheters, allow successful MRI catheterization in adults and children. This chapter briefly describes suitable instrumentation and approaches.
