To review the clinical role of cardiac magnetic resonance in identifying etiology and determining prognosis among patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy.
Evaluated multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance capabilities, including volumetric chamber assessment, ejection fraction quantification, and parametric mapping (T1, T2, and T2*).
Assessed myocardial tissue characterization techniques, such as late gadolinium enhancement and extracellular volume fraction measurement, in comparison to histological findings.
Cardiac magnetic resonance serves as the recognized reference standard for measuring cardiac chamber size and ventricular ejection fraction.
The specific pattern and anatomical distribution of late gadolinium enhancement distinguish underlying nonischemic cardiomyopathy etiologies.
The presence and overall extent of myocardial late gadolinium enhancement directly predict adverse clinical outcomes and overall prognosis.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients with, or at risk for, heart failure, particularly nonischemic cardiomyopathies

Intervention

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) including late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and mapping techniques (T1, T2, T2*)

Cardiac magnetic resonance is a critical imaging modality for diagnosing the etiology and determining the prognosis of nonischemic cardiomyopathies.
