Synopsis

Keywords: Cardiomyopathy, Parkinson's Disease, Cardiac magnetic resonance,Cardiac function,Myocardial strainParkinson's disease (PD) is the second most frequent neurodegenerative disease. Likewise, heart failure (HF) is one of the most common causes of mortality and morbidity in the world. The prevalence of HF has been found to be twice among PD patients compared with overall population regardless any other heart diseases and cardiovascular disease risk factors. Cardiac MRI is the clinically recognised gold standard for the assessment of ventricular functional parameters and myocardial histology. We have designed a study to assess the cardiac function and structure in patients with PD compared with a control group by means of cardiac magnetic resonance.
