Standard imaging tests include: echocardiography, chest x-ray, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, various radionuclide techniques. Standard CT and MRI have limited application because the heart constantly beats, but faster CT and magnetic resonance techniques can provide useful cardiac images if the rhythm is regular and the heart rate is controlled; sometimes patients are given a drug (eg, a beta-blocker) to slow the heart rate during imaging.
