Summary
In routine, cardiomyopathy, confirmed or not, is a frequent reason for cardiac MRI evaluation. Step by step, by using a wide panel of sequences, cardiac MRI is able to characterize cardiomyopathies by their morphologic and functional phenotype as well as by tissue characterization. Cardiac-MRI is also considered as the most appropriate technique for the follow-up of this disease.
The purpose of this article is to browse an overview of the main MRI features of cardiomyopathy, focusing the purpose on hypertrophic forms and myocardial diseases leading to cardiac failure.
