ABSTRACT
Disorders of the pericardium are common and can result in significant morbidity and mortality. Advances in multimodality imaging have enhanced our ability to diagnose and stage pericardial disease and improve our understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease. Cardiovascular MRI (CMR) can be used to define pericardial anatomy, identify the presence and extent of active pericardial inflammation, and assess the hemodynamic consequences of pericardial disease. In this way, CMR can guide the judicial use of antiinflammatory and immune modulatory medications and help with timing of pericardiectomy. CMR can also be used to diagnose congenital disorders of the pericardium. Furthermore, CMR can be used to define pericardial masses and understand their malignant potential.
