Key result
Cardiac MRI applications are expanding for nonischemic acquired heart disease, with cine MR now regarded as the preferred method for evaluation and quantification of right ventricular function.
Why the study?
What is the role of cardiac MRI in the diagnosis and follow-up of nonischemic acquired heart disease?
What is the role of cardiac MRI in the diagnosis and follow-up of nonischemic acquired heart disease?
Cardiac MRI, particularly Cine MR, is a key modality for evaluating right ventricular function and diagnosing various nonischemic acquired heart diseases.
May inform RV assessment in nonischemic disease; leaves open prospective validation of cine MR as standard.
Cardiac MRI applications for diagnosis and follow‐up of patients with acquired heart disease are constantly expanding. This review article presents an overview of the use of cardiac MRI in nonischemic acquired heart disease. The role of MRI in nonischemic acquired heart disease continues to be influenced by perceived capabilities of echocardiography. The applications discussed in this review are: myocardial diseases including cardiomyopathies, arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and myocarditis; pericardial diseases, especially constrictive pericarditis; cardiac and paracardiac masses; and valvular heart disease. Cine MR is now regarded as the preferred method for evaluation and quantification of right ventricular function. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2008;27:1195–1213.
