Role of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in the Evaluation of Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Diagnostic Contribution and Prognostic Significance
Figure 3
A specific midwall late enhancement stria in a 71-year-old patient with chronic dilated CMP. LGE image (a) acquired in a 4-chamber plane shows a linear post-Gd hyperintensity located within the midlateral wall of the left ventricle without corresponding to T2-STIR (b) signal abnormality. The present finding likely represents the expression of a postmyocarditic form of disease (inconfirmed in this patient).
