This EACVI expert consensus document outlines the appropriate use of multimodality non-invasive imaging techniques for the diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, and management of restrictive cardiomyopathies.
This EACVI expert consensus document establishes comprehensive recommendations for utilizing multimodality imaging in the evaluation and management of restrictive cardiomyopathies.
Restrictive cardiomyopathies (RCMs) are a diverse group of myocardial diseases with a wide range of aetiologies, including familial, genetic and acquired diseases and ranging from very rare to relatively frequent cardiac disorders. In all these diseases, imaging techniques play a central role. Advanced imaging techniques provide important novel data on the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of RCMs. This EACVI consensus document provides comprehensive information for the appropriateness of all non-invasive imaging techniques for the diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, and management of patients with RCM.
Habib et al. (2017) conducted a review in Restrictive cardiomyopathies. Multimodality imaging was evaluated. This EACVI expert consensus document outlines the appropriate use of multimodality non-invasive imaging techniques for the diagnosis, prognostic evaluation, and management of restrictive cardiomyopathies.
