Overview

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is a valuable tool for diagnosis of spontaneose coronary artery dissection (SCAD) in patients as follows: pregnant women for avoiding radiation of coronary angiography, unclear evidence of acute coronary syndrome during coronary angiography, differentiating of SCAD from myocarditis, takotsubo cardiomyopathy. Findings of CMR associated with SCAD include evidence of myocardial infarction with subendocardial LGE,microvascular obstruction, myocardial edema
