Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) biomarkers play an increasingly important role in individualized cardiovascular risk assessment and preventive medicine.
Does cardiovascular magnetic resonance improve individualized cardiovascular risk assessment?
This review highlights the growing clinical importance and future potential of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in individualized cardiovascular risk assessment and disease prevention.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is gaining clinical importance in preventive medicine. Evidence on diagnostic accuracy and prognostic value, in addition to the development of faster imaging, increased availability of equipment and imaging expertise have led to a wide-spread use of CMR in a growing number of clinical indications. The first part of this review summarizes the role of CMR biomarkers for risk assessment focusing on the patients groups that benefit from the use of CMR. In the second part, the future directions for CMR are discussed and their role in prevention of cardiovascular disease.
Hinojar et al. (Sat,) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) was evaluated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) biomarkers play an increasingly important role in individualized cardiovascular risk assessment and preventive medicine.
