  Abstract

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), is an accepted gold standard for non-invasive, accurate, and reproducible assessment of cardiac mass and function. The interest in its use for viability, myocardial perfusion and coronary artery imaging is also widespread and growing rapidly as the hardware and expertise becomes available in more centres, and the scans themselves become more cost effective. In patients with heart failure, accurate and reproducible serial assessment of remodelling is of prognostic importance and the lack of exposure to ionizing radiation is helpful. The concept of an integrated approach to heart failure and its complications using CMR is fast becoming a reality, and this will be tested widely in the coming few years, with the new generation of dedicated CMR scanners.

Key Words: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance • Heart failure
