Dear readers:

The second half of the XXI century provided great advances never imagined in the field of cardiac imaging, and, in a fascinating manner, we have discovered that these imaging methods are not mutually exclusive but rather complementary.
Magnetic resonance imaging for instance is now more accessible to the general population; it provides precise images at the same time that it aids the clinician in the understanding of the cardiac pathology. The echocardiogram on the other hand, has broadened its usefulness with special techniques such as strain and tridimensional echocardiography, whereas the two-dimensional echocardiography is accessible due to its low cost in the Emergency departments using special apps and portable devises.
