Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Current and Future Clinical Applications

Dear Colleagues,

Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) is still limited worldwide by cost and scanner availability, but has major advantages in cardiovascular research and has long been the non-invasive standard reference technique for the comprehensive imaging of not only cardiac volumes and flows, but also of myocardial tissue composition. As a “soft tissue technique”, CMRI, even without the use of contrast, provides important information on the myocardium, but especially with the gadolinium contrast technique, CMRI has redefined the evaluation of cardiomyopathies, with important and in some cases life-saving consequences for individual patient treatment. The present Special Issue is focused on current and future clinical applications, and will welcome important findings where CMRI is used to provide important information of value for future patient treatment.
