Two cases of dilated cardiomyopathy with right ventricular wall degeneration demonstrated by late gadolinium enhanced MRI.
Right heart failure is prominent in some patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). In this article, we present right ventricular wall degeneration and fibrosis demonstrated by late gadolinium enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with DCM.
