Workshop Description: Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects approximately 1% of the population, and it is not uncommon for the general cardiologist to encounter an adult with mild disease and initiate care and investigations. This workshop, jointly created by CACHNET and CSCMRI, aims to provide the general cardiologist and the general cardiology MRI reader with the knowledge required to appropriately interpret and read a cardiac MRI in adults with simple to moderate CHD that they are likely to encounter in routine clinical practice.

Three expert speakers will highlight three common clinical scenarios the general cardiologist encounters that are often misinterpreted. The first talk will guide the learner on what to consider in shunt lesions and highlight the differences between atrial and ventricular septal defects. The second talk will describe the coarctation of the aorta and highlight important clinical considerations in both a new diagnosis and follow-up imaging of a prior repair. The third talk will consider Ebstein's anomaly, highlighting what needs to be considered in the reporting and interpretation to guide adequate care.

To ensure high audience engagement, polling will occur in each talk, and a 15-minute Q&A panel discussion consisting of MRI and ACHD cardiologists will take place. A trainee will be on the panel to highlight the importance of considering the integration of such knowledge into routine imaging training and to ensure appropriate future care.

This workshop has been designed to have appropriate gender and geographic representation.
