Update:

The large multicentre United States registry (SPINS trial) confirms high performance of perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to detect coronary artery disease (CAD), to guide CAD management, and to reduce costs. Large prospective multicentre trials confirm the high diagnostic performance of perfusion CMR to detect CAD in patients with suspected disease (GadaCAD 1 and 2) and the safe management of CAD patients by CMR in comparison to invasive fractional flow reserve-guided management (MR-INFORM trial).

CMR is recommended by European Society of Cardiology guidelines to evaluate patients with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA).

While not yet in clinical routine, further dedicated pulse sequences and additional evidence accumulates on quantitative myocardial perfusion by CMR.

First-in-man application of hyperpolarized contrast media to measure myocardial perfusion and metabolism by CMR in patients has been reported.

There is accumulating evidence that post-ischaemic scar as detected by CMR predicts arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in post-myocardial infarction patients.
