TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a general approach for the natural history and clinical course of clinical diagnostics in the context of vascular flow outflow and genetic and molecular diagnostics.

TL;DR: Electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) is a highly sensitive technique for detecting coronary artery calcium and is being used with increasing frequency for the screening of asymptomatic people to assess those at high risk for developing coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiac events, as well as for the diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in symptomatic patients.

TL;DR: The appropriateness of using CMR is described for the frequent disease entities where imaging information may be warranted, and the usefulness of CMR in specific diseases is summarized by means of the following classification.

TL;DR: The reader should view the CECD as the best attempt of the ACC and the ESC to inform and guide clinical practice in areas where rigorous evidence may not yet be available or the evidence to date is not widely accepted.

TL;DR: A semiauto‐mated method has been developed that substantially reduces both effects of background phase distortion and random noise in magnetic resonance (MR) phase velocity measurements.
