Abstract
Aim of the paper was to address all strengths and weakness of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, trying to highlight areas where further research and investigations should be carried out to fill current gaps in scientific knowledge. Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy represents a multifaceted clinical entity associated with arrhythmias and sudden death. Even though different diagnostic tools are available for appropriate identification and risk stratification, over the last few years cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has surfaced as an unmatched non-invasive imaging tool. CMR is mandatory in the evaluation of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. It is the only imaging technique providing the identification of myocardial fibrosis, particularly for left ventricular myocardium, as recent evidences demonstrated that left ventricular involvement in arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is associated with greater risk of sudden death than lone right ventricular involvement.
