Key result
CMR sequences including bSSFP and LGE are critical for diagnosing and managing myocardial diseases.
Cardiac MRI sequences play a critical role in diagnosing, prognosticating, and managing ischemic and nonischemic myocardial diseases.
Supports CMR integration into myocardial disease evaluation; leaves open need for prospective trials to define outcome impact and cost-effectiveness.
Imaging of myocardial disorders encompasses a large variety of conditions including both ischemic and nonischemic diseases. Cardiac MRI sequences, such as balanced steady-state free precession and late gadolinium enhancement, play a critical role in establishing diagnosis, determining prognosis, and guiding therapeutic management. Additional sequences-including perfusion imaging, T2*, real-time cine, and T2-weighted sequences-should be performed in specific clinical scenarios. There is emerging evidence for the use of mapping in imaging of myocardial disease. Multiple other new techniques are currently being studied. These novel techniques will likely change the way myocardial disorders are understood and diagnosed in the near future.

Lee et al. (2020) conducted a review in Myocardial disease. Cardiac MRI was evaluated. Cardiac MRI sequences, including balanced steady-state free precession and late gadolinium enhancement, play a critical role in diagnosing and managing ischemic and nonischemic myocardial diseases.
