TL;DR: From a functional viewpoint, patients with FM have a more severely impaired LVEF at admission that, despite steep improvement during hospitalization, remains lower than that in patients with NFM at long-term follow-up, which holds true when only the viral forms are considered.

TL;DR: Regional myocardial blood flow and its transmural distribution were estimated by the reference microsphere method in eight patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy or ischemic heart disease during heart transplant procedure to provide a reference standard for cardiac imaging in nuclear cardiology.

TL;DR: In patients with LVNC evaluated by using CMR, the degree of LV trabeculation seems to have no prognostic impact over and above LV dilation, LV systolic dysfunction, and presence of LGE.

TL;DR: Patients with TI show absence of cardiac iron overload even if hepatic iron accumulation is significant, and there was no statistically significant correlation between cardiac T2* values and liver iron concentration, serum ferritin, or any patient, disease, or treatment-related parameters.

TL;DR: After correction for clinical determinants, however, postprocedural ARF maintains a clinically significant impact on mortality that must be taken into account for benefit vs. risk evaluation of PCI in individual patients.
