Key result
CMR complements echocardiography by providing excellent contrast and anatomical information across various heart conditions.
Why the study?
Magnetic resonance imaging is a new, non-invasive method increasingly applied to cardiac imaging, with its role in heart disease investigation still being established.

CMR offers complementary anatomical detail to echocardiography in select cases; leaves open standardized outcome trials before broader adoption.
Cardiac MRI is a non-invasive imaging technique that provides valuable anatomical information and serves as a complementary tool to echocardiography.
S Ress (1989) conducted a review in Heart disease. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging vs. Echocardiography and invasive angiography was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive technique complementary to echocardiography that provides excellent contrast and useful anatomical information in a variety of heart conditions.
