title: [Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging in patients with acute chest pain].
abstract: Acute chest pain is a common reason for presentation to the emergency department. It can be caused by a wide variety of diseases, some of which are potentially lethal, so it must be diagnosed quickly. The rise of computed tomography to evaluate patients with acute chest pain is noteworthy. However, computed tomography is not without limitations in this context. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging is a potentially useful technique in this group of patients, although its availability and the time required for examinations restrict its use to specific indications.
