Overcoming the Difficulties to Adequately Detect Myocardial Ischaemia in Women
Ischaemia testing in women has been frustrating for decades due to their smaller hearts, smaller vessels, shielding of the cardiac signal by breast tissue in combination with the development of cardiovascular diseases later in life, which is often combined with co-morbidities and, thus, with less specific symptoms in comparison with men.

Detection of Left Ventricular Thrombus by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source
The authors aimed to use contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CE-CMR) imaging to elucidate the prevalence of left ventricular (LV) thrombus in patients suspected of embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) with previous myocardial infarction or LV dysfunction (LV ejection fraction [LVEF] <50%).

Long-Term Incremental Prognostic Value of CMR After ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction
This study sought to investigate whether early post-infarction cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters provide additional long-term prognostic value beyond traditional outcome predictors in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.

Comprehensive Echocardiographic and CMR Evaluation Differentiates Among Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients, Hypertensive Patients, and Healthy Control Subjects
The aim of this study was to investigate the utility of a comprehensive imaging protocol including echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance in the diagnosis and differentiation of hypertensive heart disease and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
