In this review the questions of diagnostics of cardiomyopathies using cradiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with delayed enhancement are discussed. Different forms of hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, differential diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy are described. Revised diagnostic criteria for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, and MR-criteria for diagnostics of myocarditis are emphasized. Clinical cases illustrate different kinds of cardiomyopathies.
Keywords: arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, delayed enhancement, cardiac magnetic resonance, myocarditis, cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
