CMR should be routinely used in the workup of patients with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy for both diagnostic and prognostic applications.The presence of LV dilatation and systolic dysfunction in the absence of significant coronary artery disease together with valvular diseases represents a significant ...
Nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy DbCM: Diabetic cardiomyopathy DM: Diabetes mellitus GLS: Global longitudinal strain HF: Heart failure HR: Hazard ratio IQR: Interquartile range LA: Left atrium LAVI: Left atrium volume index LGE: Late gadolinium enhancement LV: Left ventricle LVEF: ...
Hello, I’m Frank, I’m a 79-year-old male with DM, CKD, and PAD. I am an ischemic cardiomyopathy patient with reduced LV function, and have an AICD. I’ve had a previous MI and CABGx2 years ago and now with failed grafts. ...
CMR is an ever increasingly used utility in the diagnostic workup of cardiac patients. However, as scan time is considerably more expensive than other imaging modalities, any proposed additional sequence must be fast and easy to incorporate. Currently available MRE techniques require an external ...

We believe that CMR is an invaluable tool, not only in differentiating nonischemic from ischemic cardiomyopathy, but also in aiding the accurate diagnosis and management of the subtype of nonischemic cardiomyopathy. CMR should routinely be integrated in the diagnostic workup of various cardiomyopath...
nonischemic cardiomyopathyNonischemic-dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) is an entity that gathers extremely heterogeneous diseases. This awareness, although leading to continuous improvement in survival, has increased the complexity of NIDCM patients' management. Even though the endorsed 'red-flags'...
Objective:To review a case of life-threatening cardiogenic shock due to nonischemic cardiomyopathy associated with anterior hypopituitarism and to compare this case with previous reports in the literature. Methods:We describe the clinical presentation, biochemistry, imaging, treatment, and outcome of a ...
Background Risk stratification in patients with non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NI-DCM) is essential to treatment planning. Global longitudinal strain (GLS) predicts poor prognosis in various cardiac diseases, but it has not been evaluated in a cohort of exclusively NI-DCM. Although deformation ...
Patients with nonclassic phenotypes (NCP)—more advanced stages of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—constitute an intriguing and heterogeneous group that is difficult to diagnose, risk-stratify, and treat, and often neglected in research projects. We aimed to compare cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)...
