Offers guidance for CMR use in routine practice; confirms established role but leaves open standardization of protocols and safety workflows.

Key Points

To clarify and demonstrate the clinical role, indications, prognostic significance, and limitations of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for general cardiologists managing heart disease in routine clinical practice.
Reviewed the clinical utility of CMR across diverse cardiovascular pathologies, including ischaemic heart disease, heart failure, cardiomyopathies, valvular diseases, aortopathies, cardiac masses, and congenital defects.
Summarized operational protocols regarding standard CMR sequences, functional assessment methodologies, and safety considerations for patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.
CMR provides high-fidelity diagnostic and prognostic assessments across both ischaemic and non-ischaemic cardiovascular disorders, clarifying clinical decision-making for non-expert clinicians.
Appropriate sequence selection and standardized safety workflows enable effective cardiac imaging even in patients with implanted electronic devices who require scans during their lifetime.
