Table 5 Recommendations for CMR in heart failure
From: Representation of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in the AHA / ACC guidelines
Recommendations for non-invasive cardiac imaging in heart failure | Classa | Levelb | Page |
|---|---|---|---|
Radionuclide ventriculography or MRI can be useful to assess LVEF and volume | IIa | C | 18 |
Noninvasive imaging to detect myocardial ischemia and viability is reasonable in heart failure and coronary artery disease | IIa | C | 18 |
Viability assessment is reasonable before revascularization in heart failure patients with coronary artery disease | IIa | B | 18 |
MRI is reasonable when assessing myocardial infiltration or scar | IIa | B | 18 |
