Purpose/ Objective
Exercise cardiovascular magnetic resonance (Ex-CMR) has developed over the past 25 years to combine the superior image qualities of CMR with the preferred method of exercise stress with numerous exercise methods existing. This publication presents an in-depth assessment of the various Ex-CMR stress methods and the varied pulse sequence approaches, including those specially designed for Ex-CMR. Current and future developments in image acquisition are highlighted, and will likely lead to a much greater clinical use of Ex-CMR across a range of cardiovascular conditions.Exercise CMR has been developing for 30 years with multiple studies published, however there has not been a journal article before presenting the development of different techniques and potential clinical uses. This Ex-CMR literature review acts to provide an in-depth presentation of the varying techniques and diseases investigated.
To close the gap , learners need to know about the different exercise techniques used in Ex-CMR and the varying pro's and cons and the possible clinical applications of Ex-CMR.
Upon completion, the learner will have a greater understanding of the varying methods to perform Ex-CMR, including benefits and challenges of each technique and the numerous disease investigated and potential future clinical applications.
