Acute chest pain is a common reason for presentation to the emergency department. It can be caused by a wide variety of diseases, some of which are potentially lethal, so it must be diagnosed quickly. The rise of computed tomography to evaluate patients with acute chest pain is noteworthy. However, computed tomography is not without limitations in this context. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is a potentially useful technique in this group of patients, although its availability and the time required for examinations restrict its use to specific indications.

El dolor torácico agudo es una causa frecuente de consulta en los servicios de urgencias. Puede estar ocasionado por una amplia variedad de enfermedades, algunas potencialmente letales, por lo que tienen que diagnosticarse rápidamente. El auge de la tomografía computarizada para estudiar a pacientes con dolor torácico agudo es notable. Sin embargo, se trata de una exploración no exenta de limitaciones. La resonancia magnética cardiovascular es una técnica potencialmente útil en este grupo de pacientes, aunque la disponibilidad y la duración de las exploraciones restringen su uso a determinadas indicaciones. En este trabajo se ilustran los hallazgos de la resonancia magnética en pacientes con dolor torácico agudo y se describen los protocolos de adquisición. Además, se resaltan los datos semiológicos más característicos de las causas isquémicas y no isquémicas que pueden provocar estos síntomas (AU)

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is a potentially useful technique in this group of patients, although its availability and the time required for examinations restrict its use to specific indications In this article, we illustrate the magnetic resonance imaging findings in patients with acute chest pain and describe the protocols for MRI acquisition in this context. Furthermore, we highlight the most characteristic signs of ischemic and nonischemic causes of chest pain (AU)
