Role of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

Heart Failure Clinics
Aneesh S Dhore-Patil, Ashish Aneja

Abstract

Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) improves on other noninvasive modalities in detection, assessment, and prognostication of ischemic heart disease. The incorporation of CMR in clinical trials allows for smaller patient samples without the sacrifice of power needed to demonstrate clinical efficacy. CMR can accurately quantify infarct acuity, size, and complications; guide therapy; and prognosticate recovery. Timing of revascularization remains the holy grail of ischemic heart disease, and viability assessment using CMR may be the missing link needed to help reduce morbidity and mortality associated with the disease.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.
