Sokolowski FC, et al. - In this retrospective, single-centre study, researchers intended to determine the prevalence and significance of extracardiac findings (ECF) in a large set of cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging examinations. For this investigation, they involved 4376 cardiac MR imaging reports of 3553 patients (age 37.4 ± 20 years, 60.8 % male) examined from 2000 to 2014. It was observed that the overall prevalence of ECF was 34%. The outcomes revealed that ECF in cardiac MR imaging is present in about every third patient. On the other hand, relevant ECF that change patient management can be found in about one out of 100 patients. Findings suggested an association of older patient age with more nonvascular ECF. It is important to involve well-trained radiologists in reading cardiac MR images, which often reveal ECF if congenital heart disease is the clinical indication.
