Key result
CMR demonstrates growing clinical utility for assessing ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and myocarditis.
Why the study?
Technological developments have increased the clinical utility of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating various cardiac abnormalities, necessitating an updated review of techniques and applications.
This review summarizes the technical aspects and clinical applications of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in evaluating myocardial diseases.
Supports broader CMR consideration in myocardial assessment; leaves open need for prospective outcome trials before guideline integration.
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is an evolving imaging method that can be used in cardiovascular pathology evaluation. Technological developments have increased the clinical utility of cardiac magnetic resonance in the exploration of various cardiac abnormalities. The most important imaging techniques and their utility will be presented in this review, together with the advantages and limitations of cardiac magnetic resonance and with a brief presentation of common cardiac disorders that can be assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance including ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies and myocarditis.
