Synopsis

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) Imaging is now an essential investigation in the management algorithm of many cardiac conditions. By providing highly accurate structural and functional information, as well as non-invasive tissue characterization, CMR can improve both diagnostic accuracy and quantification of disease severity, leading to more effective healthcare delivery. Evolving CMR techniques, such as those utilizing parametric mapping and 4-dimensional flow quantification, offer new mechanistic insights into disease processes and may ultimately drive the development of novel targets for intervention.
