The DCRV Enigma
Cardiac MRI is an important tool to diagnose adult congenital heart disease including double-chambered RV
51-years old with giddiness every morning on waking up.
Echo showed RV changes.
Cardiac MRI shows marked RV hypertrophy, the cause of which is abnormal musculature in the subpulmonic region, dividing the heart into a high-pressure proximal chamber and a low-pressure distal chamber, a double-chambered right ventricle or DCRV.
In this case, there are abnormal septo-parietal and septo-marginal trabeculae causing the stenosis.

The Value of Extracellular Volume (ECV) in ATTR - Transthyretin Amyloidosis
Cardiac MRI is a useful tool to diagnose amyloidosis. T1 mapping has become a mainstay, both native and ECV measurements. ECV measurement can now help quantify the amyloidosis burden and may help guide treatment based on how the ECV responds to specific treatment measures.
