INCA (Peru) Study: Impact of Non-Invasive Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Assessment in the Developing World.

Background Advanced cardiac imaging permits optimal targeting of cardiac treatment but needs to be faster, cheaper, and easier for global delivery. We aimed to pilot rapid cardiac magnetic resonance ( CMR ) with contrast in a developing nation, embedding it within clinical care along with training and mentoring. Methods and Results A cross-sectional study of CMR delivery and clinical impact assessment performed 2016-2017 in an upper middle-income country.
