Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is the gold-standard non-invasive method of assessing cardiac structure and function, including tissue characterisation. In systemic sclerosis (SSc), heart involvement (SHI) is a leading cause of mortality yet remains poorly understood. SHI is underestimated by conventional echocardiography, and CMR provides an important opportunity to better identify and quantify subtle myocardial changes including oedema and fibrosis. This review summarises current CMR techniques, the role of CMR in SSc and SHI, and the opportunities to further our understanding of its pathogenesis and management.
心脏磁共振成像（CMR）是评估心脏结构和功能（包括组织特征）的金标准非侵入性方法。在系统性硬化症（SSc）中，心脏受累（SHI）是主要的死亡原因，但仍未得到充分了解。传统超声心动图会低估SHI，而CMR提供了一个重要机会，能更好地识别和量化包括水肿和纤维化在内的细微心肌变化。本综述总结了当前的CMR技术、CMR在SSc和SHI中的作用，以及进一步了解其发病机制和治疗方法的机会。
