Use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to aid in diagnosis, management, and prognosis of ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy has advanced tremendously in the past several decades. These advances have expanded our understanding of both ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies while also allowing for new avenues of diagnosis and treatment. This review summarizes key concepts of CMR technology and CMR use in the diagnosis and prognosis in ischemic, infiltrative, inflammatory, and other nonischemic cardiomyopathies and discusses the use of CMR in the patient presenting with ventricular arrhythmia with unclear diagnosis and advances in CMR in the management cardiomyopathy.
