To Each Imaging Modality, Their Own MAD
MAD of limited extent is common on CMR and more than two thirds of patients showing MAD on CMR did not have MAD on TTE. The inter-modality agreement between TTE and CMR increased when the diagnostic threshold for MAD was increased from 1 to 5 mm. Methodological discrepancies impact MAD assessment and contribute to the discordant prevalence and clinical significance reported in the literature.
