Comparison of cardiac MRI abnormalities and echocardiography findings
Normal cardiac MRI(n = 13) | Abnormal cardiac MRI(n = 39) | |
Normal echocardiography (n = 27) | 11 | 16 (7 thinned LV myocardium, 3 LV kinetic abnormality, 3 impaired RV ejection fraction, 2 impaired LV ejection fraction, 2 LV dilatation, 4 delayed contrast enhancement, 2 increased signal intensity in T2-weighted sequence) |
Abnormal echocardiography (n = 25) | 2 (abnormal thickness of the interventricular septum or posterior wall of the LV) | 23 |
LV, left ventricle; RV, right ventricle.
