Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathies

Yang EY, Shah DJ. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Nonischemic Cardiomyopathy. Methodist DeBakey Cardiovasc J. 2020 Jun;16(2):97-105.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as a key modality to assess nonischemic cardiomyopathies. Its ability to detect cardiac morphology and function with fast cine imaging, myocardial edema with T2-based techniques, and fibrosis with late gadolinium enhancement techniques has enabled noninvasive characterization of cardiac tissue, thus helping clinicians assess cardiovascular risk and determine the most effective management strategy. Active investigations into parametric imaging techniques will further expand the potential clinical applications of CMR for cardiac tissue characterization. This review discusses the use of CMR techniques in characterizing the major morphofunctional phenotypes of nonischemic cardiomyopathies.
