Key result
CMR guides diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment monitoring in infiltrative cardiomyopathies.
Why the study?
Advancements in CMR quality and availability have made it essential to review common diagnostic and prognostic findings in infiltrative cardiomyopathies.
This review highlights the essential role of CMR in diagnosing, prognosticating, and managing infiltrative cardiomyopathies such as amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, iron overload, and Fabry disease.
May aid infiltrative cardiomyopathy evaluation; leaves open prospective validation of outcome impact.
Advancements in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging quality and availability have made it an essential tool in the care of individuals living with cardiomyopathies. CMR complements clinical suspicion, electrocardiogram patterns, and echocardiographic findings to help elucidate the etiology of cardiomyopathies and can also be used to prognosticate and follow treatment responses. In this review, we highlight the common CMR findings in cardiac amyloidosis, cardiac sarcoidosis, iron overload cardiomyopathy, and Fabry disease. We also summarize prognostic findings and additional potential roles for CMR in the management of infiltrative cardiomyopathies.

Hussien et al. (2025) conducted a review in Infiltrative cardiomyopathies. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging serves as an essential tool for elucidating the etiology, prognosticating, and monitoring treatment responses in infiltrative cardiomyopathies.
