SOPHIA ANTIPOLIS CEDEX — EuroCMR 2021, the premier cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) congress organized by the European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI), is set to illuminate the latest innovations in heart imaging and treatment strategies. Taking place online from May 6 to 8, EuroCMR 2021 will showcase cutting-edge research and advancements that are revolutionizing the field of cardiology, according to a press release published on EuropaWire.

The congress will feature groundbreaking studies on the utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosing cardiovascular conditions and tailoring personalized treatment plans. Notable topics to be explored include the use of hypnosis to facilitate CMR for claustrophobic patients, the impact of weight loss on heart function, and enhanced detection of cardiotoxicity in lymphoma survivors.

Highlighting the future of image fusion, EuroCMR 2021 will delve into the integration of CMR images with computed tomography (CT) scans to provide a comprehensive assessment of heart health and coronary artery function. Additionally, researchers will discuss the creation of a unique “fingerprint” of the heart using multiple CMR imaging techniques, paving the way for more precise diagnostics and targeted therapies.

Sex-specific differences in heart adaptation and response to treatments will be a key focus area, shedding light on how CMR can aid in understanding these distinctions and optimizing patient care accordingly. Furthermore, sessions dedicated to AI-driven image enhancement and interpretation will underscore the transformative potential of artificial intelligence in improving diagnostic accuracy and speed.

Leading experts will also address emerging trends in congenital heart disease imaging, including the utilization of 3D printing for treatment planning and real-time imaging in pediatric patients. As the largest CMR conference in Europe, EuroCMR 2021 will bring together a diverse array of professionals, including cardiologists, radiologists, imaging scientists, and engineers.

With a mix of live and on-demand sessions, EuroCMR 2021 offers unparalleled opportunities for knowledge exchange and networking. Press registration is now open, providing access to the latest insights and advancements shaping the future of cardiovascular imaging and treatment.
