Detailed description

Patients will undergo cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to include measurement of left ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, detection of inflammation (via STIR sequences) where appropriate, early gadolinium enhancement, late gadolinium enhancement, first pass perfusion using pharmacological stress imaging (contraindications to include comorbidities that do not permit pharmacological stress agents e.g. severe asthma, severe or symptomatic aortic stenosis)
