Stable Cad

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) assesses cardiac function, ischaemia, viability and tissue characterisation, all within a single scan. Many studies regarding the role of CMR in stable coronary artery disease (CAD) have been published over the last decade providing important technical advances, large-scale clinical validation and prognostic data. As a result, CMR has emerged as a highly accurate technique for diagnosis and risk stratification in stable CAD and has been incorporated into national and international guidelines. Furthermore, clinical pathways utilising CMR have been shown to be the most cost-effective in several healthcare systems. In this review, we summarise the key roles and guideline recommendations for CMR in stable CAD supported by contemporary clinical evidence.

Stress Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance is increasingly used in clinical practice, as it has emerged over the years as an invaluable imaging technique for diagnosis and prognosis, with clear-cut applications in managing patients with both ischemic and non-ischemic heart disease. In this review, we focus on the evidence and clinical application of stress CMR in coronary artery disease from diagnosis to prognosis.

Abstract Purpose of Review Myocardial infarction in the absence of coronary artery disease is caused by a variety of clinical conditions, so it is important to detect the specific causes in order to perform a better prognostic stratification of these patients. The aim of this review is to summarize the most important findings that established the role of CMR (cardiovascular magnetic resonance) to detect the MINOCA (myocardial infarction with non-obstructive arteries) patients and the importance to differentiate them from myocardial infarction patients. Recent Findings The role of CMR is crucial to diagnose the principal diseases involved in MINOCA, as demonstrated. The several MR sequences used in all the MINOCA patients showed different results for all the different causes of MINOCA and, surely, high-resolution MR with gadolinium enhancement has been considered the best method to differentiate the transmural lesions. Summary Another fundamental aspect to be considered is the experience of CMR radiologists, which represent the most important element for the right diagnosis of MINOCA. Surely, in the future, CMR will be the most important technique of choice for MINOCA patients, playing a key role in their management.
