Late Gadolinium Enhanced (LGE) Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging has a unique ability to characterize diverse mechanisms of non-ischemic myocardial injury. The pattern and extent of LGE findings have been studied across a wide range of cardiomyopathy states. To date, these collective findings provide strong justification for the use of LGE-CMR in the evaluation and prognostication of patients with Dilated, Hypertrophic, Restrictive and Inflammatory cardiomyopathies. This review article summarizes relevant studies in the field and highlights the clinical role of LGE-CMR in contemporary practice.
