One of the diagnostic challenges in cardiology is the assessment of patients with suspected cardiomyopathies. The traditional approach involves clinical history and examination, followed by echocardiography and invasive angiography. Advances in cardiac MRI enable cardiologists to comprehensively assess both ischemic and nonischemic cardiomyopathies, providing information regarding cardiac anatomy, myocardial and valve functions, as well as tissue characterization.
心脏病学中的诊断挑战之一是对疑似心肌病患者进行评估。传统方法包括临床病史和检查，随后进行超声心动图和侵入性血管造影。心脏磁共振成像（MRI）的进展使心脏病专家能够全面评估缺血性和非缺血性心肌病，提供有关心脏解剖结构、心肌和瓣膜功能以及组织特征的信息。
