Gadolinium Enhancement Patterns in Ischemic and Non-Ischemic Cardiomyopathies
Ischemic:
• Subendocardial Infarct
• Transmural Infarct
Non-Ischemic:
• Mid-wall Hyper-Enhancement:
- Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy
- Myocarditis
- Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
- Right ventricular pressure overload (e.g.congenital heart disease, pulmonary hypertension)
- Sarcoidosis, myocarditis, Anderson-Fabry, Chagas disease
• Epicardial Hyper-Enhancement: Sarcoidosis, myocarditis, Anderson-Fabry, Chagas disease
• Global Endocardial Hyper-Enhancement: Amyloidosis, systemic sclerosis, post-cardiac transplantation
