Key result
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging provides a comprehensive assessment of left ventricular function, myocardial perfusion, edema, and viability in patients with ischemic heart disease.
CMR is a comprehensive imaging modality for assessing left ventricular function, myocardial perfusion, edema, and viability in acute and chronic ischemic heart disease.
May support CMR for comprehensive IHD assessment; leaves open outcome trials and standardization before routine adoption.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging ( CMR ) offers a broader assessment of cardiac structure and function than any other single imaging modality. In patients with known or suspected ischemic heart disease ( IHD ), a comprehensive CMR protocol provides an assessment of left ventricular function, myocardial perfusion, edema, and viability in a single sitting. There are applications for this technology in both the acute and chronic IHD settings. CMR is also a valuable tool in the assessment of patients presenting with chest pain, raised troponin levels, and unobstructed coronaries.
