OBJECTIVE: Delayed contrast-enhanced cardiac MRI has been used to evaluate myocardial viability in ischemic heart disease (IHD). However, it can also be used in the assessment of non-ischemic cardiac diseases. CONCLUSION: We illustrate a number of non-ischemic cardiac conditions and describe how they can be differentiated from IHD.
