Genetic dilated cardiomyopathy with inflammation in an infant that responded to immunosuppressive therapy evaluated using cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 April 2024
Abstract
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance T1 and T2 mapping reflects inflammation, fibrosis, and myocardial oedema. However, its application in infants remains uncertain. Herein, we report a three-month-old boy with dilated cardiomyopathy successfully treated with steroids. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance was useful for diagnosis based on the elevated native T1, T2, and extracellular volume and evaluation of response to immunosuppressive therapy in infantile inflammatory dilated cardiomyopathy.
