CMR is a highly accurate and versatile imaging modality that serves as a gold standard for evaluating ventricular function and myocardial viability in patients with coronary artery disease.

Cite This Study

Werner G. Daniel (2010) conducted a review in Known or suspected coronary artery disease. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging vs. Echocardiography and nuclear imaging was evaluated. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging provides precise quantification of ventricular volumes and function, and directly visualizes myocardial scar using delayed gadolinium enhancement.
