Case 226: Diagnosing Left Ventricular Free Wall Rupture without Aneurysm
Diagnosing ventricular free wall rupture is not difficult, though these patients rarely come for cardiac MRI, since they are usually serious and clinically unstable.

How to diagnose papillary muscle infarction and rupture using all the information we can get from all the routine sequences we obtain
Pulmonary Hypertension
In patients with PH, radiologists can make a difference in identifying a few pathologies as causes of PH (leaving aside known cardiac and pulmonary diseases, where the conditions are already known). We should not miss these, especially shunts.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Ischemia in apical HCM appears to be universal and may be manifest at presentation or on follow-up.
Viability
Persistent MVO carries a poor prognosis
Tumors
A snippet on tumors that need a biopsy or either the tumor itself or of a related lesion for diagnosis.

A snippet on tumors that in most instances can be readily diagnosed.
Tumors
A snippet on lesions that appear as masses on echo but are pseudotumors
Tumors
A snippet on mimics that are normal anatomic variants on MRI, but appear as masses on echo
Valvular HD
A snippet on the various conditions and terminologies that affect the mitral valve
Granulomatous Cardiomyopathy
Every patient with suspected sarcoid cardiomyopathy must be thoroughly investigated to make sure it is not TB masquerading as sarcoid
Infarcts
IMH has poorer prognosis than patients with MVO without IMH or without MVO
PET
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
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
It is important to know the MRI findings of RHD and RHD MS, especially if you practice in India
