What’s New in Cardiac MRI?

October 02, 2026 · 91 articles · 15 research themes · covering September 25, 2026 – October 02, 2026

Overview

This week’s digest is dominated by a clear push toward faster, more quantitative, and more actionable cardiovascular imaging—especially cardiac MRI. Multiple studies target the “from scan to decision” bottleneck: AI-accelerated reconstruction for real-time iCMR (KOSTAL), workflow and breath-hold optimization to reduce motion artifacts, and whole-heart/5D approaches that preserve volumetric accuracy while improving efficiency. In parallel, several papers strengthen the clinical interpretability of quantitative imaging biomarkers—standardizing perfusion metrics (including rate-pressure product correction), establishing CMR reference values for diastolic parameters, and improving tissue quantification methods (e.g., magnetization-transfer-aware MR fingerprinting, standardized epicardial adipose quantification, and contrast-free LGE-like imaging).

A second major theme is risk stratification beyond traditional single metrics. Across post-MI and heart failure cohorts, LV deformation, strain, and fibrosis/perfusion markers (ECV, stress ischemic burden, and hemodynamic congestion staging) repeatedly show prognostic value that persists after accounting for load-related factors or ejection fraction. In inflammatory and infiltrative disease, imaging is increasingly positioned as an early, noninvasive window into active pathology: CMR strain predicts PET-defined inflammation in cardiac sarcoidosis, quantitative mapping and LGE/CRP improve myocarditis prognosis, and pericardial LGE may reflect persistent subclinical inflammation with worse outcomes. Arrhythmia-focused work similarly leverages CMR-derived functional phenotypes (e.g., left atrial strain in repaired ToF, RA strain in early ARVC, and LGE absence predicting CRT response in NICM) to refine who is at risk.

Finally, the digest highlights the growing importance of multimodality and implementation. Reviews and practical guides emphasize how to integrate CT, CMR, PET, and echocardiography when CMR is limited or when specific phenotypes (Takotsubo variants, Kounis syndrome, SCAD with unusual cardiomyopathy, papillary fibroelastoma, intracardiac masses) require rapid, confident characterization. Meanwhile, AI is moving from concept to evaluation: systematic appraisal of AI readiness for SCD/ventricular arrhythmia prediction and broader multimodal AI frameworks underscore both promise and the need for rigorous validation before clinical deployment.

Cardiac MRI reconstruction & acceleration (including AI/ML)

Optimization of Respiratory Training Methods for Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

This prospective study evaluated respiratory training strategies with different breath-holding methods to reduce respiratory motion artifacts during cardiac MRI in 93 patients undergoing 3T cardiac MRI (including single-shot fast spin-echo, SSFP cine, first-pass perfusion, and late gadolinium enhancement sequences). The key finding was that breath-hold training method influenced image quality, with an optimal approach identified for minimizing respiratory motion artifacts across the cardiac MRI acquisitions. Clinically, optimizing breath-holding training can improve diagnostic image quality and reduce repeat scans in routine cardiac MRI workflows.

K-space Optimized Spatial Temporal Architecture for Low Latency in Interventional Cardiac MRI.

This study developed and evaluated KOSTAL (K-space Optimized Spatial Temporal Architecture for Low latency), a recurrent neural network for low-latency cardiac cine reconstruction in interventional cardiac MRI (iCMR) that operates directly on undersampled golden-angle radial k-space in a multi-coil setting. KOSTAL uses a per-coil k-space convolutional gated recurrent unit (convGRU) to learn a mask-conditioned view-sharing rule over accumulated k-space and an image-space recurrent module, achieving reconstruction from only 10 simulated golden-angle spokes per frame compared with a 1000-spoke reference on the open-access OCMR multi-coil dataset. These results suggest that k-space–domain recurrent learning can substantially reduce acquisition-to-reconstruction latency for real-time iCMR workflows, potentially improving guidance during cardiac interventions.

Cardiac MRI quantitative perfusion & ischemia (QP-CMR/CTP, MBF/MPR, stress CMR)

Quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging with MRI and CT: clinical applications and future directions.

This review summarized evidence for quantitative myocardial perfusion imaging using MRI (QP-CMR for absolute myocardial blood flow) and CT (quantitative CT perfusion, CTP) for coronary artery disease evaluation. The key finding was that quantitative approaches improve diagnostic performance for hemodynamically significant ischemia compared with visual interpretation (for QP-CMR) and improve accuracy/specificity beyond coronary CT angiography alone (for CTP). This is clinically important because it supports radiation-aware, more objective functional assessment of CAD using absolute perfusion metrics to guide management.

Impact of rate-pressure product correction of myocardial blood flow on the prognostic relevance in patients with heart failure.

This study evaluated whether correcting resting myocardial blood flow (MBF) for rate-pressure product (RPP) changes the prognostic relevance of quantitative perfusion CMR (QP-CMR) in patients with heart failure (HF), analyzing 641 HF patients and 184 healthy volunteers. After RPP correction (MBFcorr), the derived myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) and its prognostic association with HF outcomes were altered compared with uncorrected MBF-based metrics. Scientifically and clinically, the findings support standardizing how MBF is corrected in QP-CMR to improve risk stratification in HF.

Stress CMR ischaemic burden and long-term mortality in left ventricular systolic dysfunction: a multicentre registry study.

This multicentre registry study examined whether stress perfusion CMR ischemic burden (vasodilator stress perfusion CMR) adds incremental prognostic value for all-cause mortality in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (CMR-derived LVEF <50%), using consecutive patients from three French centers (2008–2024). Ischemia quantified by stress CMR and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) were associated with long-term mortality, with incremental prognostic value assessed beyond clinical factors and LVEF. The results support using stress CMR ischemic and scar information to refine prognosis in LV systolic dysfunction beyond ejection fraction alone.

Cardiac MRI tissue characterization & fibrosis (LGE, T1/T2 mapping, ECV, EATV)

Standardized MRI-Based Quantification of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume: Reproducibility and Agreement With Cardiac Computed Tomography.

This retrospective study developed and tested a standardized MRI-based method for quantifying epicardial adipose tissue volume (EATV) and evaluated its reproducibility and agreement with cardiac CT in 127 patients with aortic stenosis and 11 volunteers. The key finding was that the standardized MRI EATV quantification showed good reproducibility and acceptable agreement with CT measurements. Scientifically and clinically, this provides a radiation-free, standardized alternative to CT for EATV assessment, supporting its use as a cardiometabolic risk marker.

The feasibility of low contrast dose dual-energy CT for quantifying myocardial focal scar via extracellular volume fraction.

This prospective study evaluated low-contrast-dose dual-energy CT (DECT) using extracellular volume fraction (ECV) derived from DECT late iodine enhancement (LIE) to quantify myocardial focal scar (MFS) in 33 patients with old myocardial infarction. DECT-LIE-ECV was compared against cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and CMR-ECV from T1 mapping, with segment-level and MFS/remote myocardium measurements used to assess quantitative performance. Clinically, if DECT-LIE-ECV can reliably match CMR for scar quantification, it could enable lower-iodine imaging for myocardial scar assessment in patients where CMR is less feasible.

Clinical significance of incidental pericardial late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance.

In a retrospective single-center cohort of consecutive patients undergoing clinically indicated cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), the study examined the clinical significance of incidentally detected pericardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). The key finding was that incidental pericardial LGE—often assumed to reflect active inflammation—may instead identify patients with persistent subclinical inflammatory activity associated with worse long-term outcomes. This supports using incidental pericardial LGE as a clinically meaningful biomarker rather than ignoring it when CMR is performed for other indications.

Predictive value of myocardial extracellular volume fraction for mortality and heart failure in known or suspected coronary artery disease patients.

This retrospective cohort study evaluated whether myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) measured by CMR predicts mortality and incident heart failure in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. Using native and post-contrast T1 mapping with the modified look-locker inversion protocol and Cox proportional hazards modeling, the key finding was that higher myocardial ECV was associated with increased risk of mortality and heart failure onset. The clinical significance is that CMR-derived interstitial fibrosis burden (ECV) could improve prognostic assessment and risk-directed management in coronary artery disease populations.

Generation of contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI from contrast-free scans: a multi-center, multi-manufacturer study.

This multi-center, multi-manufacturer study developed and validated Cine2LGE, a machine-learning method that generates late gadolinium enhancement (LGE)-like images and estimates enhancement probability from contrast-free cine cardiac MRI. The key finding was that Cine2LGE produced LGE-like contrast and enhancement-probability estimates with clinically usable image quality across multiple scanners and diseases, and it performed on external testing without requiring gadolinium. This is significant because it could expand myocardial tissue characterization to patients who cannot receive gadolinium (e.g., renal impairment or contrast allergy) while preserving the diagnostic role of LGE.

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Reference Values for Left Ventricular Diastolic Function and Left Atrial Sphericity Index in Healthy Adults.

This study established CMR reference values for left ventricular (LV) diastolic volumetric parameters and the left atrial sphericity index (LASI) in 503 healthy Chinese adults stratified by age and sex. The key finding was that age- and sex-specific normative ranges for CMR-derived LV diastolic function metrics and LASI can be derived from a large, health-screened cohort. Scientifically and clinically, these reference values enable more accurate interpretation of CMR diastolic indices and left atrial shape in future studies and patient evaluation.

Cardiac MRI strain & deformation biomarkers (feature tracking, DTI microstructure, mechanics)

Myocardial strain evaluation from cardiovascular MRI and CT: physiological principles and clinical perspectives.

This narrative review examined the physiological basis and clinical use of myocardial strain measured by cardiovascular MRI (CMR) and cardiac CT (CCT) across cardiac conditions. It concludes that strain—reflecting local deformation driven by myocardial mesostructure—offers more specific, locally informative assessment than global function metrics. Clinically, this supports broader adoption of strain imaging for improved diagnosis, risk assessment, and monitoring using either CMR or CCT.

Diffusion tensor cardiovascular magnetic resonance differentiates pediatric dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies.

This study evaluated diffusion tensor cardiovascular magnetic resonance (DTI) to differentiate pediatric dilated versus hypertrophic cardiomyopathies using quantitative diffusion metrics including apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and fractional anisotropy (FA). The key finding was that DTI-derived microstructural measures (ADC/FA) differed between dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotypes, enabling discrimination beyond conventional CMR. The clinical significance is that DTI can provide non-invasive insight into myocardial microstructure in children, potentially improving diagnostic classification and disease characterization.

Prevalence and determinants of asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH) in diseases of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

This study assessed the prevalence and determinants of asymmetric septal hypertrophy (ASH) across healthy individuals and in diseases associated with left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), using UK Biobank (n=4020) and a multi-cohort clinical cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) dataset (n=1655) including hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), hypertension, aortic stenosis, Fabry disease, and amyloidosis. ASH prevalence and the septal-to-lateral wall thickness ratio (SLR) varied systematically with demographic factors and disease context, enabling age-, sex-, and body surface area-adjusted comparisons against a modeled healthy reference. Clinically, defining ASH frequency and drivers across LVH etiologies can improve CMR interpretation and differential diagnosis between HCM and other causes of septal thickening.

Cardiac MRI hemodynamics & congestion physiology (pressure/flow/wedge/PBVi, 4D flow)

PET Imaging in Pulmonary Hypertension.

This narrative review summarized how positron emission tomography (PET) imaging can be applied across pulmonary hypertension, with emphasis on pulmonary arterial hypertension and right ventricular (RV) remodeling and failure. The key point is that PET can detect early molecular and metabolic alterations that precede structural or functional changes measurable by echocardiography or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). This has scientific significance for earlier diagnosis, mechanism-based phenotyping, and potentially more targeted therapy selection in pulmonary hypertension.

From snapshot to trajectory: A multimodality right-heart monitoring framework across the heart failure spectrum.

This narrative review proposed a multimodality, therapy-agnostic right-heart monitoring trajectory framework across the heart failure spectrum (HFrEF, HFmrEF, HFpEF), using SGLT2 inhibition/dapagliflozin as an illustrative example. It emphasizes that serial assessment of right ventricular function, pulmonary vascular load, tricuspid regurgitation, and venous congestion can be integrated using clinical data, biomarkers, echocardiography, and cardiac MRI to track disease progression longitudinally. Scientifically and clinically, this reframes right-heart monitoring to better match the determinants of symptoms and outcomes beyond left-ventricle–centric follow-up.

Investigating Biventricular Intracardiac Flow Remodeling in Marathon Athletes With 4D Flow Cardiac MRI.

This study investigated marathon athletes using biventricular 4D flow cardiac MRI to characterize intracardiac flow remodeling and relate flow components to exercise-induced cardiac remodeling. The key finding was that 4D flow MRI can quantify distinct ventricular flow components in athletes and detect hemodynamic patterns associated with exercise-related remodeling beyond what conventional structural/functional measures capture. Scientifically, it supports 4D flow MRI as a potential biomarker tool to distinguish early cardiomyopathy-like changes from physiologic athletic remodeling.

MRI staging of haemodynamic congestion and clinical outcomes.

This study assessed cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived hemodynamic congestion markers—MRI-wedge pressure (computed from left atrial volume and left ventricular mass) and pulmonary blood volume index (PBVi) from first-pass transit—in patients stratified into four MRI congestion stages and related them to clinical outcomes and non-invasive markers of myocardial fibrosis. The key finding was the prognostic value of these MRI hemodynamic stages (normal vs isolated volume overload vs isolated pressure overload vs combined overload) for predicting outcomes, and their association with fibrosis-related non-invasive measures. Scientifically and clinically, MRI-based staging could improve risk stratification in heart failure by linking congestion physiology to myocardial remodeling.

Semiautomatic method for peak velocity quantification using 4D flow imaging in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction.

This single-center prospective study developed and tested a new semiautomatic postprocessing method for measuring left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) peak velocity on 4D flow cardiac MRI in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and LV outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO). The key finding was that the semiautomatic approach improved reliability and reproducibility compared with labor-intensive current postprocessing workflows for LVOT peak velocity quantification. If validated broadly, this technique could streamline 4D flow MRI analysis and support more consistent LVOTO assessment for HCM management.

Prognosis & risk prediction after myocardial infarction (MACE, CHF, LV deformation, remodeling)

Cardiac MR Characterization of Infarct-Related and Remote Myocardial Injury in Multivessel Disease After Acute Myocardial Infarction.

This retrospective study evaluated 224 post–acute myocardial infarction patients undergoing cardiac MRI 31–90 days after percutaneous coronary intervention, comparing multivessel disease (MVD) versus single-vessel disease (SVD) and stratifying by complete revascularization status. The key finding was that MVD was associated with worse myocardial tissue characteristics not only in the infarct zone but also in remote myocardium, with differences further influenced by revascularization completeness. Scientifically, it supports the use of cardiac MRI to quantify both infarct-related and remote injury as a marker of diffuse myocardial damage risk in MVD after AMI.

Reduced right/left ventricular blood pool T2-ratio predicts congestive heart failure after STEMI.

This prospective prognostic study assessed 604 revascularized first-time STEMI patients who underwent cardiac MRI within 4 days to test whether the reduced right/left ventricular blood-pool T2 ratio predicts subsequent congestive heart failure (CHF). The key finding was that a lower RV/LV T2-ratio was associated with development of newly diagnosed CHF after STEMI. This is significant because it identifies an early, CMR-derived biomarker of post-infarction risk that may enable earlier CHF prevention and closer follow-up.

Left ventricular deformation predicts major adverse cardiac events following acute myocardial infarction independently of afterload and ventricular-arterial coupling.

This large CMR cohort study assessed 1235 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients (795 STEMI, 440 non-STEMI) using tissue characterization and deformation imaging (global longitudinal and circumferential strain) to determine whether LV deformation predicts major adverse cardiac events (MACE) independent of afterload and ventricular-arterial coupling. The key finding was that LV deformation measures predicted MACE even after accounting for load-related factors, suggesting prognostic value beyond hemodynamic coupling. This is clinically important because it supports using CMR strain/deformation as a robust risk marker for post-AMI outcomes.

Peak apical rotation independently predicts left ventricular thrombus following anterior myocardial infarction.

This multicentre prospective observational study tested whether peak apical rotation predicts left ventricular (LV) thrombus after anterior myocardial infarction, quantifying peak apical rotation post-hoc in 270 patients using speckle tracking echocardiography. LV thrombus occurred in 33% of patients, and peak apical rotation was independently associated with thrombus formation after anterior MI. The finding suggests that a readily obtainable echocardiographic deformation metric could help identify patients at higher risk for LV thrombus who may benefit from closer surveillance or targeted prevention.

Interaction Between Genotype, Phenotype, and Prognosis in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy.

This prospective study enrolled patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) who underwent whole-genome sequencing to classify TTN versus non-TTN versus genotype-negative status and underwent cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to quantify fibrosis markers for long-term prognosis. The key finding was that prognosis in DCM was jointly influenced by genetic status and CMR-derived fibrosis, with their interaction and relative contributions to disease progression varying by genotype group (TTN, non-TTN, genotype-negative). These results support more personalized risk stratification in DCM by integrating TTN/non-TTN genetic information with CMR fibrosis phenotyping rather than using either alone.

Inflammatory/infiltrative cardiomyopathies & myocarditis/sarcoidosis/amyloidosis

Cardiac MRI Strain for Prediction of PET-defined Myocardial Inflammation in Patients with Cardiac Sarcoidosis.

This retrospective clinical study evaluated whether cardiac MRI strain parameters predict PET/CT-defined myocardial inflammation in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis. Using feature tracking on cine steady-state free precession images, it assessed peak circumferential strain (PCS), peak longitudinal strain (PLS), and diastolic strain rates and tested their independent association with focal FDG uptake on PET/CT. The results support cardiac MRI strain as a noninvasive imaging biomarker for myocardial inflammatory activity in cardiac sarcoidosis.

Late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac MRI and C-reactive protein for predicting clinical prognosis of acute myocarditis in adults.

This retrospective adult clinical study evaluated whether late gadolinium-enhanced cardiac MRI (including cine, native T1/T2, post-T1 mapping, and LGE) and C-reactive protein (CRP) predict prognosis in acute myocarditis. Among 76 patients (41 fulminant myocarditis, including 17 without mechanical circulatory support and 24 with mechanical circulatory support, plus 35 non-fulminant), it assessed myocardial injury characteristics from CMR tissue parameters and related them to adverse clinical outcomes. The findings support integrating CMR tissue injury metrics with CRP for improved risk stratification in acute myocarditis.

Sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia as the first manifestation of probable cardiac sarcoidosis: A case report.

This case report describes a 69-year-old man whose first presentation of probable cardiac sarcoidosis was sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (>200 bpm) in the setting of atrial fibrillation and chronic diastolic heart failure. After emergency treatment with intravenous amiodarone, the clinical course highlighted ventricular tachycardia as a high-risk initial manifestation of cardiac sarcoidosis. The report is significant because it underscores the need to consider cardiac sarcoidosis in patients with new sustained monomorphic VT, prompting timely diagnostic evaluation to reduce sudden cardiac death risk.

Inhibition of late sodium current (INa) to prevent coronary MICROvascular dysfunction in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel disease: A phase IIb multicenter, randomized, controlled and open label study (INaMICRON).

The INaMICRON phase IIb multicenter randomized open-label trial studied whether early inhibition of the late sodium current with ranolazine, added to guideline-directed medical therapy, improves coronary microvascular dysfunction in adults with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) who had successful primary PCI and at least one significant non-culprit lesion. The trial’s key premise is that ranolazine will favorably modulate early post-infarction microvascular function compared with standard therapy alone. If confirmed, this would support a targeted anti-arrhythmic/anti-ischemic mechanism (late INa blockade) as an adjunct strategy to reduce residual coronary microvascular dysfunction after STEMI.

Multiparametric cardiac MRI in the diagnosis of transplant rejection in patients after orthotopic heart transplantation.

This prospective single-center study evaluated multiparametric cardiac MRI—especially T1 and T2 mapping—for noninvasive monitoring of acute cellular rejection (ACR) in 17 adult orthotopic heart transplant recipients undergoing 5–6 serial scans within 1 month post-transplant, compared with 10 controls without structural heart disease. The key finding was that quantitative T1/T2 mapping metrics can differentiate transplant recipients with rejection-related changes from controls and may track rejection over serial imaging. Clinically, this could reduce reliance on frequent endomyocardial biopsies by providing imaging-based rejection surveillance.

Left Atrial Stiffness Identifies Children with Magnetic-Resonance-Imaging-Proven Acute Myocarditis Despite Preserved Left Ventricular Systolic Function.

This retrospective pediatric study evaluated whether left atrial (LA) stiffness measured by cardiac MRI can identify children with acute myocarditis despite preserved left ventricular systolic function (LVEF >55%). The key finding was that LA stiffness was abnormal in children with MRI-proven acute myocarditis compared with age-matched healthy controls, supporting LA stiffness as a marker of myocardial disease even when LV systolic function is preserved. This is clinically significant because it provides a diastolic/atrial biomarker to improve detection and risk assessment in pediatric myocarditis.

Cardiac Sarcoidosis: A Practical Guide for Cardiologists.

This practical guide reviewed cardiac sarcoidosis in patients with systemic sarcoidosis, focusing on diagnostic approaches (notably cardiac magnetic resonance and ^18F-FDG PET) and immunosuppression strategies to prevent atrioventricular block, ventricular arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. The key finding is that while clinically recognized cardiac involvement occurs in about 5–10% of sarcoidosis patients, imaging and autopsy studies suggest it is more frequent, and evidence for management is limited by the lack of randomized trials. Scientifically and clinically, it consolidates current best practices for identifying myocardial involvement and reducing arrhythmic risk in a patchy granulomatous disease.

Cardiac amyloidosis and coronary artery disease: an overlooked clinical intersection.

This review discussed the clinical intersection between cardiac amyloidosis and coronary artery disease (CAD), emphasizing that elderly patients often have both and that ischemia in amyloid hearts is frequently driven by coronary microvascular dysfunction rather than flow-limiting epicardial stenosis. It notes that epicardial atherosclerosis is present in roughly 30–40% of cardiac amyloidosis patients, yet the dominant ischemic mechanism is typically microvascular impairment from amyloid infiltration and related structural changes. The article is significant because it reframes diagnostic and therapeutic thinking for ischemia in amyloidosis, helping clinicians avoid misattributing symptoms solely to obstructive CAD.

Arrhythmia risk & electrophysiology (VT/VF, SCD, device/ablation, arrhythmogenic phenotypes)

Ventricular Arrhythmias in Marfan Syndrome: Prevalence and Clinical Correlates in a Multicenter Cohort.

This retrospective multicenter cohort study analyzed 783 adults with confirmed Marfan syndrome from three Mayo Clinic sites, using manual chart review of clinical data plus echocardiography, cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), surgical history, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) information to assess correlates of sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF). Sustained VT/VF was associated with specific clinical and structural features captured across imaging and device/surgical data (including CMR-derived characteristics). The results help refine arrhythmia risk prediction in Marfan syndrome and may inform selection and intensity of ICD-based prevention strategies.

Absence of Fibrosis Influences Prognosis of Cardiac Resynchronization in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated observational studies of nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), testing whether absence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance predicts CRT response and ventricular arrhythmia (VA) outcomes. Across included studies, lack of LGE was associated with better CRT response and lower ventricular arrhythmia risk, supporting a lower arrhythmic-risk phenotype. Scientifically and clinically, this may help guide decisions between CRT-P versus CRT-D in NICM by using CMR LGE as a risk-stratification marker.

Incremental Diagnostic Value of Right Atrial Strain in Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy: A Cardiac MRI Study.

This Academic Radiology study used cardiac MRI to evaluate right atrial (RA) phasic strain in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) patients, focusing on those with preserved versus reduced right ventricular (RV) function and comparing them with healthy controls (n=38 per group). The key finding was that ARVC patients with preserved RV function already showed impaired RA reservoir and conduit strain and reduced RA passive emptying fraction despite normal RA size/function indices on conventional measures. The significance is that RA strain may provide incremental diagnostic discrimination for early ARVC when RV function is still preserved.

Left Atrial Strain and History of Life-Threatening Arrhythmia in Adults with Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot: A Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Study.

This retrospective CMR study investigated the relationship between left atrial reservoir strain (LAS) and history of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia (h-LTA) in 39 adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (r-ToF). The key finding was that LAS derived from four-chamber cine images was associated with prior h-LTA, indicating that impaired left atrial function relates to ventricular arrhythmia risk. This is significant for arrhythmia risk stratification in r-ToF patients using a noninvasive CMR-derived functional metric.

The Lazarus Protocol: Rescue Catheter Ablation of Incessant Ventricular Fibrillation by Purkinje Substrate Denetworking in Critically Ill Patients With Ischemic Cardiomyopathy.

This case series studied rescue catheter ablation in three critically ill patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and refractory incessant ventricular fibrillation (VF), using high-density Purkinje system mapping during ongoing VF plus targeted Purkinje denetworking and myocardial substrate modification. The procedures identified Purkinje potentials/abnormal electrograms in infarct and border-zone myocardium and were performed with electroanatomic mapping integrated with multimodality imaging while patients were supported with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (with or without Impella). The report suggests that Purkinje substrate denetworking guided by high-density mapping can be a feasible “Lazarus Protocol” strategy to terminate otherwise untreatable VF in patients requiring advanced mechanical circulatory support.

Congenital heart disease & pediatric cardiology (including pediatric myocarditis/ToF/Ross/ASD)

The grey zone before pulmonary valve replacement in repaired tetralogy of Fallot: a paediatric perspective on the 2024 American Heart Association scientific statement.

This commentary reviewed the 2024 American Heart Association scientific statement on repaired tetralogy of Fallot from a pediatric perspective, focusing on patients with borderline right ventricular (RV) size who do not meet clear intervention thresholds. The authors define a “grey zone” of indexed RV end-diastolic volume (~140–160 mL/m²) and indexed RV end-systolic volume (~70–80 mL/m²) where no single measurement determines timing of pulmonary valve replacement. Clinically, this highlights the need for longitudinal assessment and integrated risk evaluation rather than relying on a single cutoff in children with borderline RV dilation.

Incidentally detected double-chambered right ventricle in an adult.

This radiology case report describes an incidentally detected double-chambered right ventricle (DCRV) in a 55-year-old asymptomatic woman. The diagnosis was made on cardiac imaging showing right ventricular intracavitary division due to hypertrophied muscular structures (classically the moderator band), despite the adult presentation. Clinically, it highlights that DCRV—though usually diagnosed in childhood—can present later and may be found during evaluation for unrelated conditions such as family history of thoracic aortic aneurysm.

Left ventricular rehabilitation after Ross operation for critical aortic stenosis with endocardial fibroelastosis.

This study evaluated long-term clinical and echocardiographic/functional outcomes after the Ross operation in neonates and infants (<1 year) with critical aortic stenosis, comparing those with and without endocardial fibroelastosis (EFE). The key finding was that left ventricular rehabilitation following the Ross procedure—optionally with concomitant EFE resection—was associated with restoration of LV function and improved long-term outcomes in this high-risk EFE subgroup. These results support early surgical management and inform long-term surveillance strategies for infants with EFE-associated diastolic impairment after Ross repair.

Valvular heart disease & structural interventions (mitral/tricuspid/pulmonary valves, ViV, CRT imaging)

Imaging the Adult With Secundum Atrial Septal Defect: A Practical Echocardiographic Approach From Diagnosis to Device Closure.

This narrative review provided a practical echocardiographic workflow for adults with secundum atrial septal defect (ASD), covering diagnosis, hemodynamic assessment, anatomical characterization, transcatheter closure planning, and follow-up. The key emphasis is that secundum ASD geometry is often non-circular, so accurate sizing and planning require complementary views and multiplanar 2D TEE (along with TTE) rather than relying on single-plane measurements. This improves procedural planning and device selection for transcatheter ASD closure by reducing measurement-related errors.

Case Example and Bench Testing of Hydrodynamic Performance and Migration Stability of Various Valve-in-Valve Configurations within a Large-Housing Self-Expanding Pulmonary Valve.

This report combined a case example with bench testing to evaluate hydrodynamic performance and migration stability of different valve-in-valve (ViV) configurations using a large-housing self-expanding pulmonary valve platform. The key finding was that, in the context of repeat percutaneous ViV implantation (including a VenusP-valve configuration in a young woman with Noonan syndrome and severe lymphatic disorder), bench testing and clinical follow-up supported assessment of performance and migration stability across configurations. Scientifically and clinically, it helps inform optimal sizing and procedural planning for ViV strategies in large self-expanding pulmonary valves.

Multimodality imaging workflow & guideline/implementation (CT vs CMR vs TEE, stress CMR use, practical guides)

FOCUS-ischemia: A real-world comparison of an ischemia-focused analytical strategy and conventional multiparametric stress CMR.

This real-world comparative study assessed whether an ischemia-focused analytical strategy (FOCUS-ischemia) preserves clinically relevant information compared with conventional multiparametric stress CMR for predicting downstream coronary management and outcomes. In 717 consecutive patients undergoing clinically indicated stress CMR, the key finding was that the FOCUS-Ischemia approach performed comparably in predicting downstream management and clinical endpoints relative to the conventional multiparametric workflow. This suggests an efficiency-oriented stress CMR analysis strategy could maintain prognostic value while potentially reducing examination burden.

An integrated approach for assessing intracardiac mass using multi-imaging modalities: A case report.

This case report studied an 83-year-old woman with an intracardiac (left atrial) mass using multimodal imaging including transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, coronary angiography, and cardiac MRI with gadolinium. The integrated workup characterized the lesion with features such as a coronary “tumor blush” and increased gadolinium uptake, and the mass showed no change in characteristics or symptoms during cardiology follow-up. The clinical significance is that combining echo, angiography, and gadolinium-enhanced cardiac MRI can improve diagnostic confidence for complex intracardiac masses and guide management when differential diagnoses (thrombus vs tumor vs tumor-like lesions) are broad.

Integrating cardiac CT into the diagnostic pathway of Takotsubo syndrome: current evidence and future directions.

This article reviewed and synthesized current evidence on integrating cardiac CT into the diagnostic pathway for Takotsubo syndrome (TS), focusing on how CT can complement or substitute when CMR is contraindicated or limited. The key finding is that while CMR remains the reference standard for TS tissue characterization and functional assessment, cardiac CT can provide useful diagnostic information in specific clinical scenarios. The significance is practical: it guides imaging selection to reduce delays and improve diagnostic accuracy for TS when CMR cannot be performed.

Optimization and technological advances in cardiovascular magnetic resonance to improve access and screening.

This article reviewed technical and workflow advances in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) aimed at improving access and screening by reducing preparation and acquisition time. The key finding was that innovations such as rapid imaging protocols, sequence development, deep-learning-based acceleration/reconstruction, and automated image analysis/report generation can streamline CMR and potentially broaden eligibility. This is important for scaling CMR from specialized centers to larger populations for routine cardiac assessment and tissue characterization.

Clinical Realities of Multimodal Imaging in Papillary Fibroelastoma in 385 Pathology-Proven Cases.

This retrospective multicenter analysis evaluated diagnostic performance of computed tomography (CT) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) versus transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) for detecting and characterizing papillary fibroelastomas (PFE) in 385 patients with pathology-proven PFEs. The key finding was that multimodal imaging findings could be systematically compared against TEE and pathology across a large real-world cohort, clarifying the relative utility of CT and CMR for lesion detection and imaging characteristics. Clinically, the results inform how CT/CMR can complement TEE in diagnosing PFE, potentially improving preoperative planning and diagnostic confidence.

From Guidelines to Ground Reality: The Underutilization of Stress Cardiac MRI in Ischemic Heart Disease - A Narrative State-of-the-Art Review.

This narrative state-of-the-art review examined the gap between guideline recommendations and real-world use of stress cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in ischemic heart disease. The key finding was that despite strong evidence and a Class I ACC/AHA 2021 guideline recommendation for intermediate-risk stable or acute chest pain (with or without known coronary artery disease), stress CMR remains markedly underutilized in many healthcare settings (often <1% of ischemia testing). Clinically, it underscores the need for implementation strategies to translate guideline-supported stress CMR into routine care for improved perfusion, function, and viability assessment.

AI for clinical prediction & digital biomarkers (including SCD/arrhythmia AI, speech risk, AI readiness)

Multimodal artificial intelligence for early detection and precision management of inflammatory and infiltrative cardiomyopathies.

This review proposed a multimodal artificial intelligence framework for early detection and precision management of inflammatory and infiltrative cardiomyopathies, including cardiac sarcoidosis, transthyretin amyloidosis, and autoimmune myocarditis. The key finding is that integrating ECG, echocardiography, CMR, PET/scintigraphy, biomarkers, and electronic health record (EHR) features can improve diagnostic suspicion, tissue-based phenotyping, and risk-directed triage compared with conventional multimodality interpretation alone. The significance is that AI could shorten time to diagnosis and enable earlier, more tailored treatment decisions in diseases that are often underrecognized until advanced dysfunction develops.

Pattern and texton-based feature descriptors for Diabetic foot ulcer detection.

This paper proposed a deep learning framework (DLS-DFUD) for diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) detection using a pipeline of preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification. The key finding was that the method uses wavelet transform-based Wiener filtering (WT-WF) for noise reduction and then applies deep learning to improve DFU detection performance from images. Clinically, more accurate and prompt DFU detection could reduce infection and amputation risk by enabling earlier intervention.

Cardiac imaging in systemic/immune diseases (SLE/LN, HIV, lupus CHB, systemic sarcoidosis)

Myocardial injury in systemic lupus erythematosus and lupus nephritis: a silent threat.

This review summarized evidence on myocardial injury in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis (LN), focusing on how immune-driven cardiorenal interactions translate into subclinical myocardial damage. The key finding is that myocardial injury in SLE—often underrecognized because it can be silent—can be detected earlier with modern cardiovascular imaging, and LN further amplifies cardiovascular risk. Clinically, this supports earlier cardiac evaluation and risk-directed management in SLE patients, particularly those with lupus nephritis.

Not Only the Left Ventricle: The Impact of Potentially Cardiotoxic Oncological Treatment on the Left Atrium and Right Ventricle.

This systematic review evaluated echocardiographic and CMR studies (published 2020–March 2026) that assessed left atrial (LA), right atrial (RA), and right ventricular (RV) function in patients receiving potentially cardiotoxic oncologic treatments. The central finding is that cardiotoxicity surveillance focused only on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS) can miss clinically relevant injury to other cardiac chambers. This supports broader, chamber-inclusive imaging strategies to detect early multidimensional cardiotoxic effects during cancer therapy.

Inaugural complete heart block in anti-SSA negative systemic lupus erythematosus: the diagnostic role of anti-PM-Scl 100 antibodies.

This article reports a 21-year-old woman with anti-SSA–negative systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presenting with inaugural complete heart block (CHB). Cardiac MRI and standard workup ruled out myocarditis, infiltrative disease, and common reversible causes, and the diagnostic emphasis was placed on anti–PM-Scl 100 antibodies (with microvascular assessment) as a clue to the autoimmune etiology. The significance is that anti–PM-Scl 100 testing can be diagnostically important in adult SLE patients with CHB even when anti-SSA/Ro is negative.

Association Between HIV Infection Duration and Left Ventricular Concentric Remodeling and Myocardial Fibrosis: A Cross-Sectional Study Using Cardiac MRI.

This cross-sectional study assessed whether cardiac MRI markers of remodeling and fibrosis associate with HIV infection duration in 83 HIV-infected participants (short-duration <5 years vs long-duration ≥5 years) and 34 matched HIV-negative controls. The key finding was that longer HIV infection duration was associated with more pronounced left ventricular concentric remodeling and greater myocardial fibrosis burden as measured by cardiac MRI (including SSFP cine and MOLLI). Clinically, these MRI markers may help identify HIV patients at higher risk of cardiac injury progression and support earlier intervention strategies.

Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Disposition of Imrecoxib.

This narrative review summarized the clinical pharmacokinetics and disposition of imrecoxib, a COX-2–preferential NSAID, focusing on oral dosing, metabolism, special populations, and drug–drug interactions. It reports that after oral administration imrecoxib reaches peak plasma levels in 2–3 hours, food increases systemic exposure, and metabolism proceeds sequentially from imrecoxib (M0) to 4’-hydroxymethylimrecoxib (M1), then to 4’-formylimrecoxib (M-CHO), and finally to 4’-carboxyimrecoxib (M2). These findings support evidence-based dosing considerations and interaction/risk assessment for imrecoxib use in osteoarthritis patients.

A rare case of primary intracranial myxoma in a 10-year-old male: Case report and literature review.

This article reports a 10-year-old male with primary intracranial myxoma (PIM), a rare de novo benign mesenchymal CNS tumor, presenting with a first generalized tonic-clonic seizure. Imaging identified an extra-axial, dura-based left frontal lesion consistent with PIM, distinguishing it from the more common cardiac myxoma with CNS embolization. Clinically, the case emphasizes that PIM should be included in the differential diagnosis of pediatric dura-based lesions and seizure presentations, and that careful imaging review is critical to avoid misattributing the lesion to embolic disease.

Photon-counting CT of midventricular takotsubo cardiomyopathy.

This case report describes a 63-year-old woman with midventricular takotsubo cardiomyopathy presenting with acute chest pain and elevated troponin I after emotional stress. Photon-counting detector coronary CT angiography (PCD-CCTA) excluded obstructive coronary artery disease and, using multiphase cine reconstructions, definitively characterized the midventricular circumferential hypokinesia with basal and apical sparing pattern. Clinically, it demonstrates that photon-counting CT can provide rapid, high-resolution “one-stop” assessment to confirm atypical takotsubo variants and avoid unnecessary invasive coronary evaluation.

Beyond Kt/V: Redefining Dialysis Adequacy as Targeted Cardiovascular Risk Reduction.

This narrative review studied dialysis adequacy beyond Kt/V in maintenance dialysis patients, evaluating strategies intended to reduce cardiovascular risk from mechanisms such as cyclic volume loading, rapid ultrafiltration, electrolyte shifts, myocardial stunning, vascular stiffness, inflammation, anemia, loss of residual kidney function, and the long interdialytic interval. The key finding is that randomized trials and individual-patient-data meta-analyses have assessed higher-dose and alternative dialysis approaches with cardiovascular protection as an explicit goal rather than small-solute clearance alone. Clinically, it supports redefining dialysis targets toward cardiovascular risk reduction to better address the leading cause of death in dialysis populations.

Bilateral Renal Infarction as the Initial Manifestation of Left Atrial Myxoma During Early Pregnancy: A Case Report.

This case report described a 25-year-old woman at 6 weeks 5 days of early pregnancy who presented with bilateral renal infarction and was ultimately diagnosed with a left atrial myxoma. The key finding was that non-contrast abdominal MRI demonstrated bilateral renal infarctions and subsequent transthoracic echocardiography plus cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) identified a large mobile pedunculated left atrial mass with atypical attachment to the Coumadin ridge. Clinically, it highlights that early-pregnancy systemic embolization from left atrial myxoma can manifest as renal infarction and that multimodality imaging (echo and CMR) can clarify diagnosis when echocardiographic findings are delayed.

Preclinical/technical imaging methods & translational models (mice/swine/ex vivo, new sequences, computational modeling)

Cardioprotective effects of CDP-choline in ischemia/reperfusion injury using a swine model of acute myocardial infarction.

This randomized, placebo-controlled swine study tested whether intravenous CDP-choline (1,000 mg given 30 minutes after coronary occlusion, with subsequent dosing) reduces myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in a closed-chest acute myocardial infarction model. CDP-choline treatment improved cardioprotection outcomes compared with placebo after 60 minutes of left anterior descending coronary artery occlusion followed by reperfusion. These preclinical results support CDP-choline as a potential therapeutic strategy to limit infarct size and adverse remodeling after STEMI-like I/R injury.

In C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice with myocardial infarction (nMI=7) versus controls (nCTRL=6), it combined adiabatic T1ρ preparation with a 3D multi-echo GRE sequence to generate T1ρ-weighted QSM alongside T2* and susceptibility maps, and compared against reference T1ρ mapping and QSM without preparation. The technique enables more comprehensive, multi-parameter characterization of infarct tissue microenvironment in a single acquisition framework.

Elevated hydrostatic pressure promotes organic carbon mineralization in reservoir sediments.

This study examined how elevated hydrostatic pressure (0.1–2.1 MPa) affects sediment organic carbon mineralization using a custom hydrostatic pressure simulation system in non-sterilized sediment-water incubations. Increasing hydrostatic pressure significantly accelerated apparent organic carbon mineralization rates, with the 2.1 MPa condition showing markedly higher mineralization than lower pressures. Scientifically, the findings suggest reservoir impoundment–driven pressure changes can shift carbon cycling toward faster decomposition, informing predictions of biogeochemical impacts of damming.

A Comparison of Tissue Property Values Estimated Using Conventional Cardiac MRF and MT-Cardiac MRF.

This work compared tissue property estimates from conventional cardiac magnetic resonance fingerprinting (cMRF) versus MT-cMRF that explicitly models magnetization transfer (MT) for T1/T2 quantification in simulations, a phantom, and 14 healthy subjects. Incorporating MT in the reconstruction dictionary enabled accurate estimation of free-water T1f and T2f and bound pool fraction (BPF), whereas conventional cMRF that ignored MT was evaluated for its impact on these parameters. The significance is improved quantitative cardiac tissue mapping by reducing bias from MT effects, which can enhance the reliability of cMRF-derived biomarkers in clinical cardiac MRI.

Performance of Free-Running Cardiac and Respiratory Motion-Resolved Whole-Heart 5D MRI in Congenital Heart Disease Patients Using a Gadolinium Enhanced Fast-Interrupted Steady-State Sequence.

This retrospective study assessed performance of gadolinium-enhanced free-running whole-heart 5D MRI using a fast-interrupted steady-state sequence in 45 consecutive congenital heart disease (CHD) patients, comparing 5D against 2D bSSFP cine and 3D bSSFP imaging. The key finding was that gadolinium-enhanced 5D MRI provided comparable volumetric measures (LV/RV end-diastolic and end-systolic volumes and ejection fractions) and image quality relative to conventional 2D/3D approaches while leveraging the 5D acquisition framework. The significance is that gadolinium (rather than ferumoxytol) can support 5D motion-resolved whole-heart imaging in CHD, potentially improving efficiency and robustness of cardiac functional assessment.

Protective effect of coumarin on diabetes-induced sciatic nerve damage in rats via TRPV1 modulation.

This experimental study investigated whether coumarin (CMR) protects against diabetes-induced sciatic nerve damage in Wistar rats and whether the effect involves TRPV1 modulation. Diabetes was induced with streptozotocin (45 mg/kg i.p.), and coumarin (100 mg/kg/day i.g.) given for 14 days improved sciatic nerve injury outcomes while modulating TRPV1 signaling pathways. The significance is that TRPV1 may be a mechanistic target through which coumarin mitigates diabetic peripheral neuropathy, supporting translational interest in TRPV1-directed therapies.

Enhancing patient-specific computational modeling of cardiac mechanics by leveraging high spatiotemporal resolution magnetic resonance imaging.

This study investigated whether high spatiotemporal resolution free-breathing 4D cardiac MRI (AutoCMR; 30 volumetric frames per cardiac cycle at 1.6 mm isotropic resolution) plus cuff systolic and diastolic blood pressures (SBP/DBP) improves patient-specific computational cardiac mechanics modeling. The key finding was that using this richer imaging input improves non-invasive calibration and internal consistency of both 0D lumped-parameter and 3D finite element model predictions. Scientifically, it supports upgrading routine-care imaging protocols to enhance the accuracy of computational tools for diagnosis, surgical planning, and device design.

Multiscale four-dimensional imaging of cardiac remodelling after myocardial infarction.

This study investigated multiscale four-dimensional (4D) cardiac imaging approaches to characterize post-myocardial-infarction remodeling by integrating temporal dynamics with three-dimensional ventricular geometry across scales. The key finding was that 4D imaging enables infarct remodelling to be treated as a coupled spatiotemporal process—linking mechanical dysfunction, haemodynamic redistribution, and molecular responses—rather than assessing each component in isolation. Scientifically, it provides a framework for more integrated characterization of remodeling trajectories after myocardial infarction, which could improve mechanistic understanding and future imaging biomarkers.

Dual-phase systolic and diastolic cardiac diffusion tensor imaging using higher order motion compensation spin echo sequences at 300 mT/m gradient strength.

This technical study tested whether higher-order motion-compensated spin-echo diffusion gradients (up to 6th order) improve dual-phase systolic and diastolic cardiac diffusion tensor imaging (cDTI) on a 300 mT/m MRI system. The key finding was that extending motion compensation beyond standard second-order (M2) enables more robust cDTI acquisition across both systole and diastole in healthy volunteers, addressing the motion sensitivity that limits conventional SE-based cDTI. Scientifically, it advances cDTI methodology for capturing dynamic myocardial microstructure throughout the cardiac cycle.
