Cardiac MRI in ischemic heart disease Ishida M; Kato S; Sakuma HCirc J 2009[Sep]; 73 (9): 1577-88Considerable progress has been made in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Cine MRI is recognized as the most accurate method for evaluating ventricular function. Late gadolinium-enhanced MRI can clearly delineate subendocardial infarction, and the assessment of transmural extent of infarction on MRI is widely useful for predicting myocardial viability. Stress myocardial perfusion MRI allows for detection of subendocardial myocardial ischemia, and the diagnostic accuracy of stress perfusion MRI is superior to stress perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (CAD). In recent years, image quality, volume coverage, acquisition speed and arterial contrast of 3-dimensional coronary magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) have been substantially improved with use of steady-state free precession sequences and parallel imaging techniques, permitting the acquisition of high-quality, whole-heart coronary MRA within a reasonably short imaging time. It is now widely recognized that cardiac MRI has tremendous potential for the evaluation of ischemic heart disease. However, cardiac MRI is technically complicated and its use in clinical practice is relatively limited. With further improvements in education and training, as well as standardization of appropriate study protocols, cardiac MRI will play a central role in managing patients with CAD.|*Coronary Circulation[MESH]|*Magnetic Resonance Angiography[MESH]|*Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Cine[MESH]|Contrast Media[MESH]|Coronary Angiography/*methods[MESH]|Coronary Disease/pathology/physiopathology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Image Interpretation, Computer-Assisted[MESH]|Imaging, Three-Dimensional[MESH]|Myocardial Infarction/pathology/physiopathology[MESH]|Myocardial Ischemia/*pathology/physiopathology[MESH]|Myocardial Perfusion Imaging/*methods[MESH]|Myocardium/*pathology[MESH]|Predictive Value of Tests[MESH]|Prognosis[MESH]|Severity of Illness Index[MESH]|Tomography, Emission-Computed, Single-Photon[MESH]|Ultrasonography, Interventional[MESH] |
