[Abstract] In the past decade, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, as a gold standard for noninvasive assessment of cardiac structure and function, has played an important role in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in China. With the advent of new techniques such astissue characterization imaging, feature tracking technology, diffusion-weighted imaging, radiomics and artificial intelligence, CMR provides new opportunities for precise diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular system diseases. Several domestic hospitals have used CMR to accurately evaluate ischemic heart disease, non-ischemic heart disease, macrovascular disease, etc., and have obtained a series of research results. We believe that CMR will achieve greater research results in tissue characterization imaging, radiomics and artificial intelligence, molecular imagingas well as early diagnosis, risk stratification, and prognostic evaluation of the disease in the future. We summarized the clinical and scientific research progress in the field of CMR in China in the past ten years, and looks forward to the future development direction in this paper, in order to provide relevant reference for the research of CMR technology and clinical research.
