Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that can silently affect the entire vascular system and often manifests clinically as stroke, myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac death. Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, the sequelae of atherosclerosis remain the leading cause of death in adult Americans. Traditionally the gold standard for the diagnosis and assessment of atherosclerosis…

Atherosclerosis and its thrombotic complications are the first cause of mortality and morbidity in industrialized countries. Furthermore, despite pharmacological intervention and lifestyle changes, cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to be the principal cause of death in the US. Despite great advances in the understanding of the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis and its risk…

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has moved from niche applications to the center of cardiovascular decision-making. Today, cardiovascular MRI offers several options for detecting ischemia in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Over the last few years, much evidence has been accumulated of the diagnosis of CAD and heart failure with cardiovascular MRI.1–3…

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Ischemic Heart Disease
Left Ventricular Structure and Function at Rest
The most fundamental quantitative measurements of the heart include those of ventricular size and function. Due to its high spatial and temporal resolution and the freedom to image in any plane, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is especially suited for this task…
