MR Imaging of Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy
2011
Jha, Saurabh | Goldberg, Ari | Stellingworth, Mark
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging plays an important role in the distinction between ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathy. It does so principally by its excellent soft-tissue contrast and its ability to detect scar tissue. The distribution of scar tissue not only allows the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in a failing heart but also the type of nonischemic cardiomyopathy. The incorporation of CMR imaging early in the diagnostic cascade of a patient with heart failure of unknown cause can potentially avoid a cardiac catheterization.
