Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular noncompaction commonly occur as separate disorders with distinct clinical and pathoanatomical features. However, these cardiomyopathies may have a similar genetic origin with mutations encoding sarcomeric proteins. The described case report demonstrates an example in which phenotypic expression of [...] Read more.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular noncompaction commonly occur as separate disorders with distinct clinical and pathoanatomical features. However, these cardiomyopathies may have a similar genetic origin with mutations encoding sarcomeric proteins. The described case report demonstrates an example in which phenotypic expression of both diseases occurred in the same patient, who has two different alterations; one of them is a likely pathogenic variant in the MYL3 gene (MIM#160790) and the second variant in the MYH6 gene (MIM#160710) of unknown significance so far. To better understand associations between specific genetic variants and phenotypical expression of these genetic alterations and to stratify patient risk and decide on the most appropriate treatment, a comprehensive multimodality imaging approach and experienced multidisciplinary cardiomyopathy team decisions are warranted. In the clinical routine, awareness of the existence of complex cardiomyopathy phenotypes should be paid more attention during echocardiographic examination and should encourage a broader use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used as a clarifying technique after a high-resolution ultrasound examination during pregnancy. Combining ultrasound with MRI, additional diagnostic information is obtained or ultrasound diagnosis is frequently corrected.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used as a clarifying technique after a high-resolution ultrasound examination during pregnancy. Combining ultrasound with MRI, additional diagnostic information is obtained or ultrasound diagnosis is frequently corrected. High spatial resolution provides accurate radiological imaging of internal organs and widens possibilities for detecting perinatal development disorders. The safety of MRI and the use of intravenous contrast agent gadolinium are discussed in this article. There is no currently available evidence that MRI is harmful to the fetus, although not enough research has been carried out to prove enduring safety. MRI should be performed when the benefit outweighs the potential side effects. The narrative review includes several clinical cases of fetal MRI performed in Vilnius University Hospital Santaros Clinics. Full article

Abstract
This article presents the case of a 54-year-old male with evidence of myocardial ischemia at rest. In our case, by means of cardiovascular magnetic resonance, myocardial ischemia at rest in theoretical left anterior descending artery territory was proved, myocardial scar was excluded, and [...] Read more.
This article presents the case of a 54-year-old male with evidence of myocardial ischemia at rest. In our case, by means of cardiovascular magnetic resonance, myocardial ischemia at rest in theoretical left anterior descending artery territory was proved, myocardial scar was excluded, and need for revascularization was validated.
