This editorial provides a historical overview of the 30-year development and achievements of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging.
2013 is a remarkable year in cardiovascular medicine from a historical point of view. It can be considered a crown year for non-invasive clinical cardiovascular imaging as we can look back on 60 years of echocardiography, 40 years of nuclear cardiology, 30 years of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, and 30 years of cardiac computed tomography. In previous Editor’s Comments, 60 years of echocardiography and 40 years of nuclear cardiology were described (Parts I and II) [1, 2]. In this Editor’s Comment (Part III) we will briefly look back to the roots of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and its main achievements.
