Coronary artery disease: don’t stress, unless you really have to
Bernd J. Wintersperger, Toronto / Canada
- To explain, step by step, the acquisition protocols for stress and non-stress cardiac MRI in patients with coronary artery disease, with an emphasis on the practical difficulties that may be encountered.
- To review the indications for stress and non-stress cardiac MRI in coronary patients, and the diagnostic information that MRI can provide.
- To learn how to analyse and report stress and non-stress cardiac MRI, and how to avoid the most common pitfalls.

Cardiomyopathies: when cardiac MRI flexes its muscles
Jean-Michel Serfaty, Nantes - Saint Herblain / France
- To explain the cardiac MRI acquisition protocol and how to adapt it in the presence of arrhythmia, poor breath-holding capacity, or patients unable to remain in the MRI scanner for extended periods.
- To become familiar with the different types of cardiomyopathies and the use of T1 and T2 mapping, as well as gadolinium enhancement, in their assessment.
- To learn how cardiac MRI can support the clinical management of patients with cardiomyopathies.

Congenital heart disease and valvular disorder: cardiac MRI is right on the flow
Maurice Pradella, Basel / Switzerland
- To explain the principles of flow imaging acquisition, highlighting the respective advantages of 2D and 4D flow MRI.
- To learn how to recognise flow artefacts and accurately analyse and interpret flow images.
- To understand the clinical utility of cardiac MRI in managing congenital heart disease and valvular disorders.
