Key result
Delayed contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI can be used to assess non-ischemic cardiac diseases and differentiate them from ischemic heart disease.
Delayed contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI is a valuable imaging modality for identifying and differentiating non-ischemic cardiac conditions from ischemic heart disease.
May support differentiation of non-ischemic from ischemic disease; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Delayed contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI has been used to evaluate myocardial viability in ischemic heart disease (IHD). However, it can also be used in the assessment of non-ischemic cardiac diseases.We illustrate a number of non-ischemic cardiac conditions and describe how they can be differentiated from IHD.
