May aid timely CMR referrals per ESC guidance; leaves open need for prospective outcome validation.
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is a noninvasive cardiac imaging modality with an increasing number of applications in cardiovascular medicine. The growth in its clinical indications is evident from the expanding recommendations by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC). The year 2024 marked a significant milestone for CMR, as the latest ESC guidelines incorporated several novel indications for its use. This article aims to provide a concise overview of the increasing indications for CMR based on current ESC-recommendations, aiding cardiologists to identify clinical scenarios for patient referral.
