Abstract

In this final chapter of the book a few cardiac abnormalities are represented. Some of them represent just a curiosity and are ineffective in terms of pathophysiologic effect. However, they represent a daily challenge for the operator working in CMR, as no definite acquisition protocol exists while the referring physician recognizes CMR as the “last word” to properly treat the patient. Some other pathologies belong to multiple chapters (e.g., to ischemic heart disease and congenital) so they are herewith described. The number of possible examples to be described would be very large so that it was decided to report only the most frequent cases because of spatial limitations.
