Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined by the presence of LV dilatation and systolic dysfunction in the absence of significant CAD or an abnormal loading condition sufficient to cause global systolic impairment. The causes of DCM can be classified as genetic and nongenetic. Echocardiography, Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR), nuclear imaging (SPECT and PET), and cardiac CT are valuable tools for the diagnosis and stratification of DCM patients. Specifically, the chapter is about the role of cardiovascular imaging in the diagnostic algorhythm of dilated cardiomyopathy including indication of scan protocol and report.

Abstract
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is defined by the presence of LV dilatation and systolic dysfunction in the absence of significant CAD or an abnormal loading condition sufficient to cause global systolic impairment. The causes of DCM can be classified as genetic and nongenetic. Echocardiography, Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR), nuclear imaging (SPECT and PET), and cardiac CT are valuable tools for the diagnosis and stratification of DCM patients. Specifically, the chapter is about the role of cardiovascular imaging in the diagnostic algorhythm of dilated cardiomyopathy including indication of scan protocol and report.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
