For a number of patients it is difficult to diagnose the cause of cardiac disease. In such patients cardiac magnetic resonance is useful for helping to make a differential diagnosis between ischaemic and dilated cardiomyopathy; identifying patients with myocarditis; diagnosing cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis and Chagas’ disease; identifying patients with unusual forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and those with continuing myocardial damage; and defining the sequelae of ablation treatment for hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.


Abbreviations: CMR, cardiac magnetic resonance; DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; EMB, endomyocardial biopsy; HCM, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; LGE, late gadolinium enhancement; LV, left ventricle; PVB19, parvovirus B19

Keywords: cardiac magnetic resonance; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; infiltrative cardiomyopathies; myocarditis; late gadolinium enhancement
