Original title / Originaltitel	Haemodynamik und Funktion der Vorhöfe: eine Evaluation bei Patienten mit angeborenen Herzfehler mittels Kernspintomographie
Summary / Zusammenfassung	Aim of the study is to evaluate the size, function and 3dimensional changes of the atria in children and adults with congenital heart disease by using cardiovascular magnetic resonance. This will be assessed in a control group, and in 4 different congenital heart defects, including aortic coarctation, repaired tetralogy of Fallot, transposition of the great arteries after atrial repair, transposition of the great arteries after arterial repair. These groups will be compared to each other. Potential for extension of the study to other techniques such as 3D echocardiography exists.
