Role of cardiac imaging in management of heart failure

ABSTRACT

The significant advancement in cardiac imaging in recent years led to improved diagnostic accuracy in identifying the specific causes of heart failure and also provided physicians with guidelines for appropriately managing patients with heart failure. Diseases that were once considered rare are now more easily detected with the aid of cardiac imaging. Various cardiac imaging techniques are used to evaluate patients with heart failure, and each technique plays a distinct yet complementary role. This review aimed to discuss the comprehensive role of different types of cardiac imaging in the management of heart failure.
