1. The main aim of the first specific protocol initiated by the European CMR registry, suspected CAD, is to demonstrate that patients presenting for work up of suspected coronary artery disease, which have a completely normal CMR scan will have a low risk for cardiovascular events. 2. The main aim of the second specific protocol initiated by the European CMR registry, HCM-SCD, will be to evaluate CMR for risk stratification in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM). 3. This registry is sought to collect data on the general use of CMR in the European clinical practice, its safety and its therapeutic implications in a high number of cases to 1) substantiate the clinical yield of CMR and 2) to define additional clinical questions worth to be investigated in detail as additional specific protocols in the future.

collect data from a large number of patients regarding the general use of CMR in European clinical practice, its safety and its therapeutic implications
Time frame: 01/01/2009-
to show that a normal CMR protocol (incl. LV wall motion at rest, stress ischemia, and scar detection) predicts a low risk of future cardiovascular events.
Time frame: 01/01/2009
to evaluate if myocardial scarring assessed by contrast-enhanced CMR is a stronger predictor of adverse events during follow up than the general clinical markers of an adverse long term outcome in HCM.
