Abstract
Myocardial Diseases: Current Views on Etiopathogenesis, Diagnostic Modalities, and Therapeutic Options
Highlights
Because the evaluation of morphology and function of the heart, especially of the left ventricle, is a prerequisite for accurate phenotypic characterization of every myocardial disease, a multimodality imaging approach generally becomes necessary
According to current European classification, cardiomyopathies are defined as myocardial disorders that cannot be explained by coronary artery disease or abnormal loading conditions including valvular and congenital diseases
In recent years, advanced echo modalities gained a clinical role in the followup of chemotherapy-induced cardiomyopathy, and global longitudinal strain is recommended in the latest European guidelines
Summary
Editorial Myocardial Diseases: Current Views on Etiopathogenesis, Diagnostic Modalities, and Therapeutic Options Because the evaluation of morphology and function of the heart, especially of the left ventricle, is a prerequisite for accurate phenotypic characterization of every myocardial disease, a multimodality imaging approach generally becomes necessary. Based on evaluation of the presence of myocardial edema, hyperemia, and necrosis using dedicated sequences, cardiac magnetic resonance is capable of diagnosing acute myocarditis with high accuracy.
