Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Case of the Day 120 - The Universal Ischemia of Apical HCM
Ischemia in apical HCM appears to be universal and may be manifest at presentation or on follow-up.

Viability
Case of the Day 113 - The Concept of Reversible and Persistent MVO
Persistent MVO carries a poor prognosis
Tumors
Snippet 217: Real Masses - Indeterminate
A snippet on tumors that need a biopsy or either the tumor itself or of a related lesion for diagnosis.
Genetics
Case of the Day 101 - 2025 09 11 - MYH7 Dilated Cardiomyopathy and LV Reverse Remodeling
MYH7 is the 3rd commonest inheritable cause of genetic dilated cardiomyopathy. All ”idiopathic” DCMs must have genetic testing done to determine prognosis, arrhythmogenic vs heart failure possibilities and to diagnose possible disease in family members if a definite gene is identified
Tumors
Snippet 212: Real Masses - Diagnosable
A snippet on tumors that in most instances can be readily diagnosed.
Tumors
Snippet 208: Pseudotumors
A snippet on lesions that appear as masses on echo but are pseudotumors
Tumors
Snippet 204: "Masses" on Echo but Anatomic Variants on Cardiac MRI
A snippet on mimics that are normal anatomic variants on MRI, but appear as masses on echo
Valvular HD
Case 200: Mitral Valve and Annular Terminologies
A snippet on the various conditions and terminologies that affect the mitral valve
Granulomatous Cardiomyopathy
Case 195: Looking for and Diagnosing Tuberculosis in the Lungs When CMR Findings are Classic for Sarcoid Cardiomyopathy
Every patient with suspected sarcoid cardiomyopathy must be thoroughly investigated to make sure it is not TB masquerading as sarcoid
Infarcts
Case 190: MVO and IMH Re-assessed
IMH has poorer prognosis than patients with MVO without IMH or without MVO
PET
Case 186: Myocardial Fibroblast Activation Imaging
FAP uptake in the myocardium is always abnormal and should be reported and then worked up for ischemic or non-ischemic etiologies of fibrosis, if the patient is not a known case of cardiac disease.
Valvular HD
Case 182: Double or Triple Trouble
It is important to know how to pick up subclinical rheumatic mitral valve disease and how to characterize further a bicuspid aortic valve.
Valvular HD
Case 177: Fish-Mouth and Hockey-Stick
It is important to know the MRI findings of RHD and RHD MS, especially if you practice in India
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Case 173: Microvascular Dysfunction in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Adenosine stress CMR can diagnosis microvascular ischemia/dysfunction in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Myocardial Calcification
Case 170: Heart of Stone
Calcification in different parts of the heart can help with diagnosis and prognostication
Ischaemic HD
Snippet 164: Why CMR is Better than FDG-PET for Viability Assessment
CMR brings so much more to the table in the setting of infarct and viability imaging as compared to FDG-PET
