Abstract

Heart muscle diseases or cardiomyopathies include a heterogeneous group of cardiac diseases. Imaging provides unique information on morphologic and functional properties. MR findings of acute myocarditis reflect histopathologic changes of disease. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy, left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy, and stress cardiomyopathy show characteristic imaging findings. Myocardial involvement of systemic vasculitis can be detected by CT and MR imaging.
