Abstract
Perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement imaging sequences are commonly used in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia and infarction. The available literature has expanded from single-center studies to multiple multicenter studies that have established the clinical applicability of both imaging techniques in routine practice. In this article, these multicenter trials and their clinical implications are discussed, as well as the areas of interest that require further study.
