ABSTRACT
In the past decade, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has evolved considerably. Its clinical applications enable the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of patients with ischemic heart disease. CMR is safe, with absence of any ionizing radiation, and offers the greatest information from a single test, allowing the assessment of myocardial morphology, myocardial function and viability. Stress-CMR can be used for detection and quantification of ischemia. This article analyses the technical approach, the limits and reviews the available literature about diagnostic performance of stress CMR testing and its results in the prognostication of cardiac patients. With further improvements in CMR techniques and the establishment of a standardized study protocol, stress-CMR will play a pivotal role in managing patients with ischemic heart disease.
