Key result
CMR provides powerful diagnostic, prognostic, and follow-up utility in ischemic heart disease.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as a powerful technique for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy follow-up in ischemic heart disease, requiring an overview of its clinical role.
Provides an overview of established and emerging cardiovascular magnetic resonance parameters for the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy follow-up of ischemic heart disease.

CMR supports ischemic myocardium assessment; leaves open prospective validation of emerging parameters before routine use.
Ischemic heart disease is the major cause of death in developed countries. Recently, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has appeared as a powerful technique for diagnosis and prognosis of ischemia, as well as for postischemic therapy follow-up. The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of the role of CMR in assessing ischemic myocardium. It reviews the most recent studies in this field and includes CMR parameters that are already well established in the clinical setting as well as promising or emerging parameters in clinical use.
