Structured Graphical Abstract — Rapid cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an international partnership project that aimed to evaluate the impact of a simplified and less expensive CMR protocol embedded with an educational programme to assess a wide spectrum of cardiomyopathies in 11 centres from national/state capital in five low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with available technology. Over a 5-year period, we delivered an education programme to 920 referrers. Six hundred and one patients were scanned, reducing the time of scanning to <22 min, potentially saving costs and impacting on patients’ care. Our project highlights the potential and beneficial role of rapid CMR in LMICs. CMR, cardiovascular magnetic resonance; LMICs, low- and middle-income countries; CMP, cardiomyopathy.
