Preamble
In Brazil, cardiovascular diseases represent an important cause of mortality. From 2010 to 2019, 28% of deaths recorded by the Information Technology Department of the Brazilian Unified Health System resulted from this group of diseases. Within the measures involved in tackling this public health problem, strategies for rational use of resources have been boosted by advances in diagnostic imaging techniques. Notably, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging have expanded their potential within the diagnostic and prognostic arsenal in cardiovascular disease, in addition to serving as a basis for planning different types of therapeutic procedures (surgical and/or minimally invasive).
The field of cardiovascular imaging is growing exponentially. In recent years, the emergence and improvement of new techniques for the detection of coronary artery disease, as well as those related to the anatomic and functional study of the myocardium, have allowed the expansion of indication criteria for computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance in the management of patients with heart disease. Meanwhile, results from large multicenter studies have allowed for more assertive definitions in the use of these methods in specific scenarios, validating and adjusting previously inconclusive indications.
