“…Zaletą CMR w porównaniu z CT jest możliwość uzyskania informacji na temat konsekwencji hemodynamicznych obecności niepodatnych zmian w osierdziu podczas wypełniania jam serca [109][110][111]. Metoda ta pozwala też uwidocznić obecność włóknistych zrostów blaszek osierdzia [120].…”

“…Fast cine sequences enable real-time evaluation of dynamic fast-changing physiologic events such as ventricular coupling (17). MR tagging techniques are valuable in the detection of both fibrotic adhesion of pericardial layers and myocardial involvement in constrictive pericarditis (48). Assessment of diastolic heart function, usually accomplished by means of Doppler echocardiography, can also be achieved by using velocity-encoded or phase-contrast MR sequences (49,50).…”

“…Without this essential information one risks wrongly categorizing patients. Finally, MR tagging enables one to better appreciate the fibrotic fusion of the pericardial layers and the extent of the fibrocalcific process into the underlying myocardium (Fig 14; Movies 7, 8 [online]) (48). Whereas in normal pericardium, tag lines rapidly become discontiguous during the cardiac cycle due to shear motion of the inner and outer pericardial layer, persistence of these tag lines is indicative of fibrotic fusion.…”

“…However, echocardiography provides comparable diagnostic rates and a more increased availability. [8][9][10][11] CMR is considered the gold standard method for the anatomical characterization of the myocardium and cardiac chambers and the functional assessment of motion wall abnormalities, while the use of gadolinium facilitates the assessment of myocardial scars and fibrosis. 12 Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) has been shown to be a good predictor of major acute cardiovascular events (acute or chronic myocardial infarction).…”

Given the higher amount of detail it offers, the use of magnetic resonance (MR) in the field of cardiology has increased, thus leading to a decrease in the use of invasive and irradiating methods for diagnosing various cardiovascular disorders. The only precautions for MR imaging are metallic implants and advanced-stage chronic kidney disease. For the acquisition of clear and dynamic myocardial images, methods such as spin echo imaging for anatomical description, steady-state free precession imaging for the assessment of ventricular cavity size and function, flow velocity encoding for blood flow measurements, radiofrequency tagging for dynamics, and even spectroscopy for metabolism evaluation are used. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered the gold standard imaging method for the anatomical characterization of the heart and obtaining information related to myocardial dynamics. In case of ischemic events, CMR is used for a detailed description of the necrotic area and the complications, and for tracking the ventricular remodeling. By administrating a contrast agent (gadolinium), the difference between sub-endothelial and transmural infarctions can be distinguished, highlighting even microvascular lesions responsible for the extension of the necrosis. The assessment of the dynamics of ventricular remodeling and viability through late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) technology highlights the area of fibrosis and the occurrence of late complications.
