Cardiac MRI enables comprehensive assessment of ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies by providing information on cardiac anatomy, function, and tissue characterization.
Cardiac MRI enables comprehensive assessment of cardiac anatomy, myocardial and valve functions, and tissue characterization in suspected cardiomyopathies.
One of the diagnostic challenges in cardiology is the assessment of patients with suspected cardiomyopathies. The traditional approach involves clinical history and examination, followed by echocardiography and invasive angiography. Advances in cardiac MRI enable cardiologists to comprehensively assess both ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies, providing information regarding cardiac anatomy, myocardial and valve functions, as well as tissue characterization.

To et al. (2012) conducted a review in Ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) vs. Traditional approach (echocardiography and invasive angiography) was evaluated. Cardiac MRI enables comprehensive assessment of ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies by providing information on cardiac anatomy, function, and tissue characterization.
