Core Tip
Core Tip: Cardiomyopathies encompass a diverse range of diseases affecting the heart muscle, each with varied causes. Symptoms of cardiomyopathies can manifest differently and change over time, necessitating regular evaluation through cardiac imaging techniques. These approaches play a crucial role in diagnosis, treatment guidance, and prognosis optimization. To enhance the precision of anatomical and functional evaluation and obtain valuable prognostic insights, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is typically employed. By integrating CMR into clinical practice, clinicians can tailor patient-specific treatment plans, implement timely interventions, and optimize long-term prognosis This manuscript aims to explore how the CMR contribute to the diagnosis and management of patients with cardiomyopathies specially focus on the risk stratification.
