Overview

Supports CMR for non-invasive myocardial characterization in practice; leaves open prospective validation of mapping techniques before broader adoption.

Structured PICO

Intervention

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)

CMR is a valuable clinical tool for non-invasive myocardial tissue characterization, with established techniques like LGE and emerging mapping methods enhancing diagnostic capabilities.

Limitations

Late gadolinium enhancement cannot distinguish acute from chronic processes and is limited in detecting diffuse fibrosis.
T2-weighted images are prone to signal artifacts and depend on regular heart rhythm and sufficient breath-holding.
Mapping techniques lack standardization across centers and show overlapping values between patients with cardiac diseases and healthy controls.

Greulich et al. (2016) conducted a review in Cardiomyopathies and other cardiac diseases. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance, including late gadolinium enhancement and novel mapping techniques, provides valuable diagnostic and prognostic tissue characterization for various cardiac diseases.
