Ischemic and non-ischemic CMR main indications segregated by high vs. low volume centers (> or < / = 1000 CMR studies per year). This figure shows the distribution between ischemic and non-ischemic CMR studies and their main indications when the respondents’ centers are divided into two groups: low volume centers, those with a volume of < / = 1000 CMR studies per year of any kind, and large-volume centers with > 1000 CMR studies per year. The columns on the left labeled “IHD indications” include the following exam categories: myocardial ischemia evaluation with stress perfusion studies, the assessment of myocardial viability alone, and the evaluation of ischemic heart failure, which are also shown independently in the adjacent columns. The columns on the right (in green and red) compare all other non-ischemic heart disease-related indications. CMR cardiovascular magnetic resonance, IHD ischemic heart disease, HF heart failure
