This review highlights the evolving clinical applications and validation of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in cardiology.
May inform clinician use of CMR for CAD and non-coronary assessment; leaves open need for prospective outcome trials.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an evolving technology with growing indications within the clinical cardiology setting. This review article summarises the current clinical applications of CMR. The focus is on the use of CMR in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease with summaries of validation literature in CMR viability, myocardial perfusion, and dobutamine CMR. Practical uses of CMR in non-coronary diseases are also discussed.
