This diagnostic gap necessitates a shift toward integrated physiological and structural phenotyping, a role increasingly fulfilled by Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR). Objective: To systematically evaluate the incremental diagnostic and prognostic value of CMR across the clinical spectrum of IHD, defining its evidence-based integration into multimodal pathways, particularly for diagnostically indeterminate cases. Methods: A systematic review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. A structured literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus retrieved peer-reviewed articles published between January 2021 and April 2026. Methodological quality was appraised using the Newcastle\u2013Ottawa Scale and AMSTAR 2, while evidence certainty was evaluated via the GRADE framework. Results: Thirty studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. Current evidence demonstrates that stress perfusion CMR provides superior diagnostic accuracy compared with traditional tests (e.g., SPECT, stress ECG), although it may be outperformed by advanced CT-derived fractional flow reserve in specific post-CCTA cohorts. In indeterminate presentations such as MINOCA, CMR accurately reclassified the underlying etiology in approximately 68% of cases. Furthermore, multiparametric assessment\u2014integrating late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), microvascular obstruction (MVO), and global longitudinal strain (GLS)\u2014refined post-infarction short- and medium-term risk stratification beyond LVEF alone, though the independent prognostic value of MVO attenuates in long-term follow-up (&gt;6 years). Emerging data support the non-inferiority of accelerated stress-only protocols and the utility of artificial intelligence-driven analytics. Conclusions: CMR is a critical modality for resolving anatomical-functional mismatches and providing robust risk stratification. However, evidence does not support its use as a universal first-line test due to operational costs, scan duration, and patient contraindications. Expanding its clinical impact relies strictly on standardizing protocols and adopting AI-assisted, accelerated sequences to mitigate logistical barriers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm15187196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,16]],"date-time":"2026-09-16T16:07:29Z","timestamp":1789574849000},"page":"7196","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["The Diagnostic and Prognostic Impact of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Ischemic Heart Disease: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-5064-9112","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andra-Maria","family":"Barota-Bebe\u0219elea","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Military Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550024 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-9767-0213","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vasile Calin","family":"Arcas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doru-Florian Cornel","family":"Moga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Military Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550024 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2217-6755","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anca Maria","family":"Fratila","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Military Clinical Emergency Hospital of Sibiu, 550024 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-1121-3788","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Minodora","family":"Teodoru","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Sibiu County Emergency Clinical Hospital, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9384-5584","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mihai Octavian","family":"Negrea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Sibiu Municipal Clinical Hospital, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ana-Maria Cristina","family":"Arcas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"County Emergency Clinical Hospital Bra\u0219ov, 500326 Brasov, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ioan","family":"Mani\u021biu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, 550169 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"Cardiology Practice \u201cDr. Mani\u021biu Ioan\u201d, 550245 Sibiu, Romania"},{"name":"MedLife Polisano Hospital, 550253 Sibiu, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Xu, S., Liu, Z., Tang, M., and Xu, C.
