The aim of this presentation is to educate the reader on: 1. The role of cardiac MRI (CMR) and CT in the diagnosis and differentiation of intra & extra-cardiac shunts 2. To illustrate how CMR can evaluate the functional significance of cardiac shunts 3. To demonstrate the major complications associated with cardiac shunts.

1. Demonstrate the key CMR and CT features of the common intra-cardiac shunts including: - Ostium premium, ostium secundum and sinus venosus (superior and inferior) types of atrial septal defect - Ventricular Septal Defects - Atrioventricular septal defects - Coronary sinus defects 2. Demonstrate the CMR and CT features of the common extra-cardiac shunts including: - Patent ductus arteriosus - Partial anomalous pulmonary venous drainage - Scimitar syndrome - Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations - Coronary artery fistulae 3. Demonstrate the common pattern of cardiac chamber enlargement associated with the different types of cardiac shunts 4. Demonstrate how phase contrast MRI sequences can be used to quantify the functional significance of both intra and extra-cardiac shunts 5. The major complications that can occur secondary to cardiac shunts including: - Paradoxical embolic events - Pulmonary Hypertension - Eisenmenger’s syndrome
