  • Title: [MR-tomography of the heart in cardiomegaly caused by dilated cardiomyopathy and ischemic heart disease].
    Author: Sabekiia ON, Sinitsyn VE, Belenkov IuN, Mareev VIu.
    Journal: Kardiologiia; 1991 Sep; 31(9):9-11. PubMed ID: 1836511.
    Abstract:
    The paper deals with the results of magnetic resonance cardiac tomography in 19 patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and 10 patients with coronary heart disease who had severe cardiomegaly and congestive heart failure symptoms. Magnetic resonance tomography showed that the patients with dilated cardiomyopathy exhibited profound dilatation of all the 4 cardiac cavities and a chaotic pattern of impaired segmental left ventricular contractility, whereas those with coronary heart disease had predominant dilatation of the left cavity and local myocardial dysfunctions. Magnetic resonance may be one of the non-invasive tools which make the genesis of cardiomegaly clear in patients with heart failure.
