 Whilst MRI has advantages over echocardiography in tissue characterisation, superior contrast-to-noise and signal-to-noise ratio and greater ability to visualize the cardiac apex, CMR criteria for the identification of LVNC suffer the same limitations as for echocardiography. When applying CMR criteria from Petersen et al, a recent population-based prospective multi-ethnic cohort study identified 25.7 of a low-risk healthy population meeting criteria for LVNC.
