Abstract:
A patient undergoing chemotherapy for multiple myeloma had a sudden onset of heart failure. Cardiac magnetic resonance was performed after echocardiography to rule out myocardial late enhancement, which was not detected. In- terestingly, the inversion time of the T1-weighted inversion recovery late enhancement sequence needed to be significantly increased (from the usual 250-300 to 490 ms) to obtain diagnostic images. This report presents the clinical case of this patient, and discusses potential implications.
