This document discusses the use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to assess aortic regurgitation in a 43-year-old male patient. CMR showed a dilated left ventricle with impaired function, a bicuspid aortic valve, and severe aortic regurgitation based on quantified regurgitant volume and fraction as well as halodiastolic flow reversal in the descending aorta. Guidelines support using CMR when echocardiography is inconclusive or has poor image quality. CMR provides accurate assessment of ventricular volumes, valve structure, aortic dimensions, and regurgitation severity to guide management, in this case recommending the patient for surgery.
