Abstract
Accurate diagnosis, assessment and risk stratification of such patients by imaging modalities is important, particularly with the advent of effective but expensive implantable devices. In the last 5 years, there have been tremendous advances in the ability of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to fulfil many of these needs and provide a comprehensive assessment.1 A combination of hardware and software developments means that a modern CMR scanner is able to yield information on myocardial anatomy, function, tissue characterisation, viability, perfusion and flow within a single 45–60 min study.Keywords
