Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) – Hospital Vivalle

The Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) service at Hospital Vivalle is a high-complexity imaging center dedicated to advanced cardiac evaluation in both inpatients and outpatients. Our unit provides comprehensive diagnostic support for a wide spectrum of complex cardiovascular diseases, combining state-of-the-art technology with specialized medical expertise.

We perform CMR studies for acute and chronic conditions, including chest pain assessment, myocardial ischemia evaluation, and detailed analysis of ventricular function, myocardial tissue characterization, and viability. Our protocols are tailored for challenging clinical scenarios such as congenital heart disease, cardiomyopathies (hypertrophic, dilated, and restrictive forms), and infiltrative disorders including amyloidosis and sarcoidosis.

Our program is also equipped to support selected patients requiring anesthesia-assisted sedation, ensuring safety and optimal imaging quality when advanced monitoring and specialized care are necessary. In addition, we routinely perform studies in patients with complex arrhythmias, and we are experienced in imaging individuals with cardiac implantable electronic devices, including pacemakers, following appropriate safety protocols and clinical assessment.

With a commitment to diagnostic excellence and clinical integration, Hospital Vivalle’s CMR service delivers precise and reliable imaging results that support medical decision-making and improve outcomes in complex cardiovascular cases.
