Abstract

In patients with phaeochromocytoma, acute or chronic exposure to catecholamines may lead to cardiac pathology, including left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, myocardial infarction, stress-induced cardiomyopathy and heart failure. The burden of myocardial involvement in this disease with systemic effects is unknown. In this prospective, multicentre study, we sought to describe the variety and incidence of cardiac abnormalities in patients diagnosed with phaeochromocytoma using multi-parametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging.
