Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging vs Coronary Angiography as Primary Strategy in Newly Diagnosed Heart Failure

Although CATH was superior for diagnosing ICM, CMR showed similar sensitivity and could significantly reduce CATH procedures without increasing the risk of missing critical coronary interventions. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess whether a CMR-first strategy confers prognostic benefit.
