Abstract:
Advancements in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging quality and availability have made it an essential tool in the care of individuals living with cardiomyopathies. CMR complements clinical suspicion, electrocardiogram patterns, and echocardiographic findings to help elucidate the etiology of cardiomyopathies and can also be used to prognosticate and follow treatment responses. In this review, we highlight the common CMR findings in cardiac amyloidosis, cardiac sarcoidosis, iron overload cardiomyopathy, and Fabry disease. We also summarize prognostic findings and additional potential roles for CMR in the management of infiltrative cardiomyopathies.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
