Magnetic resonance imaging and/or contrast‐enhanced multidetector computed tomography may be used separately or, often more effectively, in an integrated fashion, to address important issues in patients with coronary artery disease causing ischemic cardiac disease (ICD). These issues include complications of myocardial infarction, such as ventricular dysfunction, myocardial wall rupture, aneurysm formation, intracavitary thrombus, mitral insufficiency, and pericarditis, as well as aspects of planning and monitoring therapy for ICD, such as revascularization and ventricular aneurysm repair.
