Overview
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) is a non-invasive test that is useful in the evaluation of overall coronary anatomy and function. CMRI also helps in the identification of inflammation,[1] neovascularization[2] and fibrous cap,[3] It, therefore, holds the potential for plaque characterization.

Indications for CMR based on Consensus Panel report[4]

Note:
- Class I: provides clinically relevant information and is usually appropriate; may be used as first line imaging technique; usually supported by substantial literature.
- Class II: provides clinically relevant information and is frequently useful; other techniques may provide similar information; supported by limited literature.
- Class III: provides clinically relevant information but is infrequently used because information from other imaging techniques is usually adequate.
- Class Inv: potentially useful, but still investigational.
Detection of CAD using CMRI
- Early detection of atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction using CMRI is possible with arterial wall imaging and assessing the reactivity of brachial artery.
- CMRI can be used to image arteries outside the heart [5] which are affected long before the clinical manifestations of atherosclerosis.[6]
- Direct endothelial function can be measured non-invasively using stimuli that causes flow mediated arterial vasodilatation.[7] CMRI measures flow changes in response to stimuli in addition to measuring brachial dilation.[8]
- Alternative approaches include:
- Visualization of the effects of induced ischemia (wall motion, perfusion)
- Myocardial perfusion: In patients with CAD, CMR showed improvement in myocardial perfusion after coronary angioplasty[11] and in patients with cadiac syndrome X impaired sub-endocardial perfusion was observed.[12]
- Direct visualization of coronary arteries (coronary angiography and flow)

Stress Testing and Advanced Imaging for Initial Diagnosis in Patients With Suspected SIHD Who Require Noninvasive Testing (DO NOT EDIT)[16]
Patients able to exercise
Class IIa |
"1. Pharmacological stress with CMR can be useful for patients with an intermediate to high pretest probability of obstructive IHD who have an uninterpretable ECG and at least moderate physical functioning or no disabling comorbidity.(Level of Evidence: B)" |
Class III |
"1. Pharmacological stress with nuclear MPI, echocardiography, or CMR is not recommended for patients who have an interpretable ECG and at least moderate physical functioning or no disabling comorbidity.(Level of Evidence: C)" |
Pateints unable to exercise
Class IIa |
"1. Pharmacological stress CMR is reasonable for patients with an intermediate to high pretest probability of IHD who are incapable of at least moderate physical functioning or have disabling comorbidity.(Level of Evidence: B)" |
