Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Heritable Cardiomyopathies

Daniel J Hammersley et al. Heart Fail Clin. 2021 Jan.

Abstract

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance represents the imaging modality of choice for the investigation of patients with heritable cardiomyopathies. The combination of gold-standard volumetric analysis with tissue characterization can deliver precise phenotypic evaluation of both cardiac morphology and the underlying myocardial substrate. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance additionally has an established role in risk-stratifying patients with heritable cardiomyopathy and an emerging role in guiding therapies. This article explores the application and utility of cardiovascular magnetic resonance techniques with specific focus on the major heritable cardiomyopathies.

Keywords: Cardiomyopathy; Cardiovascular magnetic resonance; Heritable; Inherited.
