Atrial disease or myopathy is a growing concept in cardiovascular medicine, particularly in the context of atrial fibrillation, as well as amyloidosis and heart failure. Among cardiac imaging modalities, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is particularly well suited for a comprehensive assessment of atrial myopathy, including tissue characterization and hemodynamics. The goal of this review article is to describe clinical applications and make recommendations on pulse sequences as well as imaging parameters to assess the left atrium and left atrial appendage. Furthermore, we aimed to create an overview of current and promising future emerging applications of left atrium-specific CMR pulse sequences focusing on both electrophysiologic (EP) and non-EP applications.
心房疾病或心肌病在心血管医学中是一个不断发展的概念,特别是在心房颤动、淀粉样变性和心力衰竭的背景下。在心脏成像模态中,心血管磁共振(CMR)特别适合对心房心肌病进行全面评估,包括组织特征描述和血流动力学评估。这篇综述文章的目的是描述临床应用,并就用于评估左心房和左心耳的脉冲序列以及成像参数提出建议。此外,我们旨在概述当前和未来有前景的左心房特异性CMR脉冲序列的新兴应用,重点关注电生理(EP)和非EP应用。
