Abbreviated cardiovascular magnetic resonance protocol: (A) 22 min contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance protocol for the assessment of cardiomyopathies, with the option to add T1 mapping sequence if available in the scanner; (B) 12 min T2* non-contrast protocol to assess myocardial iron overload. Extra sequences added for specific pathologies: (C) short tau inversion recovery T2w or T2 mapping + T1 mapping for myocarditis (27 min scan); (D) T1 or T2w FSE + real-time cine for pericarditis (27 min scans); and (E) fat suppression and saturation + right ventricle cine acquisition for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (30 min scan). **If poor breath-holders, modification of the protocol using parallel imaging for cine images acquisition and in patients with arrhythmia, prospective triggering, and real-time cine imaging sequences acquired. CMR, cardiovascular magnetic resonance; MIO, myocardial iron overload; STIR, short tau inversion recovery; FSE, fast/turbo spin echo; RV, right ventricle; ARVC, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy.
