This chapter will discuss how cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can assess myocardial viability in patients with chronic heart failure and help to identify those who may derive improvement in left ventricular function and (potentially) prognosis from revascularization. The following CMR parameters as markers of viability will also be discussed: end-diastolic wall thickness; dobutamine stress ventriculography; late gadolinium enhancement and transmurality of infarction; and new techniques (including MR spectroscopy and myocardial tagging).
