Abstract
The Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) is an international society focused on the research, education, and clinical application of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). The SCMR web site (https://www.scmr.org) hosts a case series designed to present case reports demonstrating the unique attributes of CMR in the diagnosis or management of cardiovascular disease. Each clinical presentation is followed by a brief discussion of the disease and unique role of CMR in disease diagnosis or management guidance. By nature, some of these are somewhat esoteric, but all are instructive. In this publication, we provide a digital archive of the 2019 Case of the Week series as a means of further enhancing the education of those interested in CMR and as a means of more readily identifying these cases using a PubMed or similar search engine.

A huge thank you to our wonderful team of associate editors and reviewers for the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) website “Case of the Week” series
The existence of the cardiotoxicity is further supported by the reductions seen in global longitudinal strain (GLS) and torsion in the entire Left ventricle/left ventricular (LV), which are parameters shown in previous studies as being effective in detecting cardiotoxicity [13, 14]
The follow-up TTE showed an LV ejection fraction (LVEF) < 25%, a marked deterioration between studies. This conforms to guideline directed medical therapy (GDMT) based diagnosis of cardiotoxicity in breast cancer patients treated with anthracyclines and trastuzumab
Summary
A huge thank you to our wonderful team of associate editors and reviewers for the Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) website “Case of the Week” series. This past year, the cases were predominantly from the United States, with international cases from Egypt, Canada and Australia. Ultrasound of the leg showed a thrombus in the lateral tarsal artery raising a possibility of an embolus Her past medical history was remarkable for mild childhood asthma that was associated with viral infections and exercise; and allergic rhinitis. Repeat CMR 6 months after treatment showed almost complete resolution of previously noted subendocardial abnormalities (Additional file 7: Movie S7, Additional file 8: Movie S8 and Fig. 7). Post treatment apical septum native T1 (1288 ms) and ECV (30%) returned to normal range
