This review highlights the established and developing clinical indications for cardiovascular magnetic resonance, emphasizing its growing role in cardiology.
Supports CMR evaluation in ischaemic heart disease; leaves open optimal integration and outcome validation in practice.
ardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a new field in cardiology.CMR has enormous potential because of its major attributes of high image quality and resolution combined with non-ionising radiation and versatility.With recent major technological advances there has been a quantum leap in acquisition speed and image quality that makes its use in ischaemic heart disease robust and clinically valuable.This review will focus on the current clinical indications for CMR, starting with those that are well established, and moving on to the developing indications that are expected to reach clinical maturity soon; finally, the less advanced uses of CMR will be briefly summarised.
