PG - 1711-2 AB - Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) can detect cardiac tissue components for several kinds of cardiac myopathies. Mark et al. found two patterns of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in patients with uremic cardiomyopathy: focal LGE and diffuse LGE. The impact of these contrast-enhanced CMR findings on clinical outcomes warrants assessment in future studies.
