Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging EDITOR’S NOTE xxx want to welcome you to the December 2020 issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Robert J. Gropler, MD Imaging. We provide a host of offerings that highlight advances in cardiovascu- Editor in Chief, Circulation: I lar imaging to improve disease risk stratification and better understand disease Cardiovascular Imaging mechanisms, implementation of deep learning tools to enhance image analysis, and further enhance precision of cardiovascular phenotypes. Due to its comprehensive and accurate quantification of left ventricular morphol- ogy and function and in-depth myocardial tissue characterization, cardiac magnet- ic resonance imaging (CMR) is increasing being used to risk-stratify patients after ST-segment–elevation myocardial infarction (MI). However, the limited availability and relatively high cost of CMR raises the question of which post–ST-segment– elevation MI patients would derive the most benefit from its use. Using echocar - diography as the initial assessment of left ventricular function, Marcos-Garces et al demonstrate that in patients with a left ventricular ejection fraction of <50%, CMR improved risk prediction and stratification above clinical variables and echo- cardiography measurements. In their commentary, Murphy and Petersen highlight the potential roles of echocardiography as a screening tool to identify post–ST-seg- ment–elevation MI patients deriving benefit from additional
