title: [Anomalies of myocardial contractility: CT and MR appearance].
abstract: Cardiac output relies on an appropriate contractile function. It is mandatory to recognize kinetic alterations of the myocardium and to precise their extent (i.e. segmental, regional or global), to quantify their consequences on the function of the cardiac pump, and to assess if the underlying disease is reversible or fixed.
