Cardiac arrhythmias are associated with significant morbidity, mortality and poor quality of life. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, with its unsurpassed capability of non-invasive tissue characterisation, high accuracy, and reproducibility of measurements, plays an integral role in determining the underlying aetiology of cardiac arrhytmias. CMR can reliably diagnose previous myocardial infarction, non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, characterise congenital heart disease and valvular pathologies, and also detect the underlying substrate concealed on conventional investigations in a significant proportion of patients with arrhythmias. Determining the underlying substrate of arrhythmia is of paramount importance for treatment planning and prognosis. However, CMR imaging in patients with irregular heart rates can be problematic. Understanding the different ways to overcome the limitations of CMR in arrhythmia is essential for providing high-quality imaging, comprehensive information, and definitive answers in this diverse group of patients.

Optimal management of adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) requires a multidisciplinary team (MDT) approach, fostering a collaborative culture over an individualistic approach. Within this framework, subspecialty-trained radiologists provide crucial imaging expertise, supporting cardiologists, surgeons, and interventional cardiologists in diagnoses, treatment planning, and follow-up evaluations. Advanced imaging tools and a nuanced understanding of surgical and interventional procedures enable radiologists to provide valuable insights to clinicians.

Background: The internal venous system of the brain is a crucial anatomical landmark during accesses to the third ventricle through the foramen of Monro. Many classifications based on radiological assessment of the system have been developed, but they tend to be descriptive and do not highlight favorable anatomical variants. The aim of our study was to create a system based on morphometric measurements to facilitate preoperative decision-making regarding access to third ventricle tumors.

Background: Congenital coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) are a significant cause of sudden cardiac death and a key factor in determining athletes' eligibility for competitive sports. Their prevalence varies with diagnostic modalities and may present as asymptomatic or with life-threatening ischemic or arrhythmic events. This case series highlights the diverse manifestations of CAAs and the clinical approaches used to determine sports eligibility.

Cardiac involvement in cancer is increasingly important in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients. A thorough cardiovascular evaluation using multimodal imaging is crucial to assess any direct cardiac involvement from oncological disease progression and to determine the cardiovascular risk of patients undergoing oncological therapies. Early detection of cardiac dysfunction, particularly due to cardiotoxicity from chemotherapy or radiotherapy, is essential to establish the disease's overall prognostic impact.
