We sought to evaluate the direct impact of a new CMR program on clinical management and decision-making in patients with cardiomyopathies from our established Heart Failure program.
## Abstract ## Purpose To quantify global myocardial perfusion using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with heart failure due to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) and to compare myocardial perfusion and microvascular reactivity with healthy subjects. ## Materials and Methods A t
## Background Steroid use has prolonged ambulation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and combined with advances in respiratory care overall management has improved such that cardiac manifestations have become the major cause of death. Unfortunately, there is no consensus for DMD-associated cardi
