Table 3. Role of CT in cardiomyopathy assessment.

Role	Description
Evaluation of coronary arteries	Evaluation of coronary artery stenosis
	Distinguish between ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy
Characterization of cardiomyopathies	Evaluate morphologic type of cardiomyopathy
	Perfusion (differentiate myocardial scar and ischemia) and delayed iodine assessment (fibrosis pattern)
Volume and function evaluation	Ventricular and atrial volume and function quantification
	Qualitative evaluation of wall motion abnormalities
Treatment planning	Myocardial viability assessment using delayed iodine assessment
	Cardiac resynchronization therapy planning (anatomy, scar assessment)
	Atrial fibrillation ablation planning (pulmonary vein and left atrial anatomy, left atrial appendage thrombus)
Post-treatment evaluation	Follow-up of cardiac function after cardiomyopathy treatment
	Evaluate post-procedural complications (left ventricular assist device, ablation)
	Evaluate heart transplant complications

CT, computed tomography.
