Assessment of Suspected Cardiac Mass with Multi-Parametric Cardiac Magnetic Resonance: Do we Really Need Invasive Endomyocardial Biopsy in Everyone?

Antonio Matteo Amadu, Anna Bar

Abstract

We present the case of a 44-year-old woman with a cardiac mass. This case highlights the role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in assessing non-invasively a myocardial mass and delineating its anatomy and tissue characterization, thus potentially avoiding endomyocardial biopsy (EMB).
