MRI
Total coverage of myocardium for stress perfusion has been limited with cardiovascular magnetic resonance technique (CMR).
Latest perfusion techniques with 3T MRI scanner allows complete coverage of with absolute quantification of myocardial blood flow.
A normal cardiac MRI scan in patients with clinical suspected myocarditis was found to have a good prognosis.
An excellent review of noninvasive methods for assessment of atrial fibrosis.
This interesting study attempts to measure the myocardial lipid content with MRI spectroscopy to assess its effect on cardiac function.
Barone-Rochette et al attempt to challenge the view that low flow/ low gradient aortic valve stenosis is a more advanced stage.
