Imaging has a central role in the evaluation of patients with heart failure (HF). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is rapidly evolving as a versatile imaging modality that often provides additional information to echocardiography in patients with suspected or known HF. CMR is the only imaging modality that has the ability to assess, without exposure to ionizing radiation, cardiac function, structure (tissue characterization), perfusion, and viability. Moreover, magnetic resonance spectroscopy techniques can assess the pathophysiologic role of deranged cardiac energetics in HF. In this review we discuss the role of CMR in the evaluation of patients with HF giving particular emphasis to recent developments and the additional information that can be obtained with this imaging modality, over and above standard echocardiography.
成像在心力衰竭（HF）患者的评估中具有核心作用。心血管磁共振（CMR）作为一种多功能成像方式正在迅速发展，在疑似或已知 HF 患者中，它通常为超声心动图提供额外的信息。CMR 是唯一能够评估心脏功能、结构（组织特征）、灌注和活力而无需暴露于电离辐射的成像方式。此外，磁共振波谱技术可以评估 HF 中心脏能量代谢异常的病理生理作用。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了 CMR 在 HF 患者评估中的作用，特别强调了该成像方式的最新进展以及与标准超声心动图相比可以获得的额外信息。
