unexplained cardiac arrest after near drowning in a young experienced swimmer: insight from cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cmri) is a well-established noninvasive imaging modality in clinical cardiology. its ability to provide tissue characterization make it well suited for the study of patients with cardiac diseases. we describe a multi-modality imaging evaluation of a 45-year-old man who experienced a near drowning event during swimming. we underline the unique capability of tissue characterization provided by cmri, which allowed detection of subtle, clinically unrecognizable myocardial damage for understanding the causes of sudden cardiac arrest and also showed the small damages caused by cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
