These advancements included identifying cardiac anatomy, measuring myocardial mass and chamber sizes, quantifying blood flow, and characterizing tissue properties using different relaxation times and gadolinium contrast. The third stage, beginning in 2010 and continuing today, emphasized the widespread clinical use of CMR.

Intra-procedural data included access route, coronary anatomy, lesion complexity, number of stents deployed, door-to-balloon time for primary PCI, and any intra-procedural complications. Pre-procedural data included patients’ baseline characteristics (age, gender, clinical presentation and comorbidities).
