The Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance provides an international forum for the latest findings and state-of-the-art reviews on the burgeoning field of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging and spectroscopy. The journal fills a critical gap in the science and practice of cardiology and related disciplines-facilitating the understanding and applications of CMR. Content will help cardiac professionals improve diagnostic capabilities, identify diseases more accurately, and assess the efficacy of therapeutic approaches.

The first and only journal devoted exclusively to CMR, the Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance publishes basic and clinical research articles, technical notes, review articles, and editorial commentary on the research, design, development, manufacture, and evaluation of magnetic resonance methods applied to the cardiovascular system. Topics include:

• new applications of magnetic resonance to diagnose risk strategy, and better characterize diseases affecting the cardiovascular system
• new methods to enhance acquisition and data analysis
• results of multi-center, or larger individual center studies that provide insight into the utility of MR
• basic biological insights derived by MR methods
