Supports non-invasive imaging for ischemic cardiomyopathy detection; leaves open prospective validation and consensus on distinct entity.
Aref Albakri (2018) conducted a meta-analysis in Ischemic cardiomyopathy (n=862). Non-invasive imaging modalities (CMRI, SPECT/PET, CT, Echocardiography) was evaluated on Diagnostic sensitivity and specificity. Non-invasive imaging methods, including cardiac MRI, SPECT/PET, and echocardiography, demonstrated a high mean diagnostic specificity and sensitivity of 86% in the detection of ischemic cardiomyopathy.
