Abstract
The contribution of non-invasive radiologic diagnostic procedures has thus far been rather insignificant in the diagnosis of cardiomyopathy. The mainstay has been the conventional chest X-ray. Estimation of dilation of the right and/or the left heart is possible by analysis of the configuration of the heart during follow-up studies. Pulmonary venous congestion can be estimated from the conventional chest X-ray and allows a partial evaluation of the function of the left ventricle. However, specific information in primary cardiomyopathies cannot be derived from the chest X-ray.
