Abstract

Chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) is a major and growing problem. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of heart failure and left ventricular systolic dysfunction. To help differentiate between ICMP and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICMP), coronary angiography (CA) has long been considered the test of choice for establishing the presence or absence of significant CAD. This chapter details the role of cardiac imaging such as coronary computed tomography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of ICMP and in discriminating ICMP from NICMP.
