Description
Summary:Cardiac MRI (CMR) has rich potential for future cardiovascular screening even though not approved clinically for routine screening for cardiovascular disease among patients with increased cardiometabolic risk. Patients with increased cardiometabolic risk include those with abnormal blood pressure, body mass, cholesterol level, or fasting glucose level, which may be related to dietary and exercise habits. However, CMR does accurately evaluate cardiac structure and function. CMR allows for effective tissue characterization with a variety of sequences that provide unique insights as to fibrosis, infiltration, inflammation, edema, presence of fat, strain, and other potential pathologic features that influence future cardiovascular risk. Ongoing epidemiologic and clinical research may demonstrate clinical benefit leading to increased future use. © RSNA, 2021.
