Abstract:
Dilated Cardiomyopathy is a common myocardial disease characterized by dilation and loss of function of one or both ventricles. A variety of etiologies have been implicated including genetic variation. Advancement in genetic sequencing, and diagnostic imaging allows for detection of genetic mutations in sarcomere protein titin (TTN) and high resolution assessment of cardiac function. This review article discusses the role of cardiac MRI in diagnosing dilated cardiomyopathy in patients with TTN variant related cardiomyopathy.
