Cardiac imaging enhances detection of specific HF diagnoses compared with ECG
Routine use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is not superior to a selective use strategy in terms of refining the clinical categorization of heart failure (HF) aetiology in patients with nonischaemic HF, a study reports. However, CMR improves the detection of specific HF diagnoses compared with echocardiography (ECG), and specific HF aetiologies are associated with poor outcomes.
