(Part 1) Sudden cardiac death and sport cardiology: multimodality imaging in cardiomyopathies

Dr. Harald Jorstad and Dr. Maria Sanz de la Garza discuss the role of imaging in diagnosing cardiomyopathies and coronary artery disease, and the challenges in evaluating athletes. They highlight the use of echocardiography and CMR for diagnosis, identification of pathological features, and differentiation between cardiomyopathies. The evaluation of myocardial patterns, including diastolic function and hypertrophy mechanical dispersion, is also explored.
