. Post-coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients may develop cardiac symptoms. We hypothesized that cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can assess the background of post-COVID-19 cardiac symptoms using multi-parametric evaluation.

Article Synopsis
- The SCMR Registry is a comprehensive database that collects clinical data from cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) exams, supporting research on treatment outcomes and advancing machine learning in cardiovascular health.
- As of now, it contains data from over 154,000 CMR scans across 20 sites in the U.S., including a vast 100 terabytes of imaging data, revealing demographics such as an average patient age of 58 and a notable 8% mortality rate in the studied cohort.
- Significant findings indicate a higher mortality risk associated with certain indicators, such as a left ventricular ejection fraction below 35% and specific wall motion abnormalities, showcasing the registry’s potential to enhance clinical insight and improve patient outcomes.
Baseline CMR in autoimmune diseases predicts outcome and permits earlier treatment.

Mid-life, the years leading up to and following the menopause transition, in women is accompanied by a change in cardiometabolic risk factors, including increases in body weight, changes in body composition, a more insulin-resistant state, and a shift towards a more atherogenic dyslipidemia pattern. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment should be performed continually throughout the lifespan, as risk is not stagnant and can change throughout the life course. However, mid-life is a particularly important time for a woman to be evaluated for CVD risk so that appropriate preventive strategies can be implemented.

It is essential to understand how CMR is utilized in different regions around the world and the potential practice differences between high-volume and low-volume centers.
Methods: CMR practitioners and developers from around the world were electronically surveyed by the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) twice, requesting data from 2017.
