Objective: Show the interest of MRI in cardiac pathology in our context. Method: Transversal retrospective study with descriptive aim carried out in Abidjan(Côte d’Ivoire). It covered six months. Black and white blood sequences, T1, T2, STIR, T1 SPIR Gadolinium in small axis VG, larger axis VG and four cavities were used in all patients. The study population consisted of patients who came for a cardiac MRI and excluded control MRI reports. Results: The average age of the patients was 50,09±15,46 from 9 to 84 years old. it was male predominance 82.19%, a sex ratio of 4.62. Ischemic heart disease accounted for 16.44% of indications and myocarditis (15.07%). Diagnostic efficiency of cardiac MRI was 47.95%. Morphological analysis objectified cardiomyopathies dominated by dilated cardiomyopathies (11%) and myocarditis (9.6%). Myocardial infarction(12,4%), cardiac malformations (11%) and pericarditis (1.37%). Functional analysis noted valvulopathies dominated by mitral insufficiency (6,9%) and hypokinesia(19,2%). Conclusion: MRI is an excellent tool for heart disease exploring. Its safety and performance make it a tool of choice for the diagnosis of cardiopathies dominated by cardiomyopathies and myocardial infarction in our context.
