Clinical indications for the use of cardiac MRI. By the SIRM Study Group on Cardiac Imaging

2013

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered an useful method in the evaluation of many cardiac disorders. Based on our experience and available literature, we wrote a document as a guiding tool in the clinical use of CMR. Synthetically we describe different cardiac disorders and express for each one a classification, I to IV, depending on the significance of diagnostic information expected.

AB0630 Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging with Pharmacological Stress Perfusion in Asymptomatic Patients with Systemic Sclerosis

2016

Background Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)-heart disease (SSc-HD), although often clinically silent, significantly reduces the life-expectancy in these patients [1]. The cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is recognized useful tool for the diagnosis of SSc-HD and cardiac stress tests might be a helpful technique to highlight the occult myocardial involvement, which cannot be detected at rest due to compensatory mechanisms [2,3]. Objectives To evaluate the possible occult cardiac involvement in asymptomatic SSc patients by pharmacological stress, rest perfusion and delayed enhancement CMR, to identify as earlier as possible those patients at higher risk of cardiac related mortality and needing specifi…
