Key result
T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a growing technique that may be warranted as an addition to standard cardiac scanning protocols to assess myocardial oedema in ischaemic heart disease.
Why the study?
Does T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging accurately assess myocardial oedema in patients with ischaemic heart disease?

May support protocol consideration for oedema assessment; leaves open prospective accuracy validation in ischaemic heart disease.
Edwards et al. (2009) conducted a review in Ischaemic heart disease. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging was evaluated. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging is a growing technique that may be warranted as an addition to standard cardiac scanning protocols to assess myocardial oedema in ischaemic heart disease.
