Sudden and/or chronic exposure to catecholamines may predispose patients with phaeochromocytoma to cardiac pathology, including left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, myocardial infarction, stress-induced cardiomyopathy and heart failure. This is a prospective, multicentre study using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to describe the variety and incidence of cardiac abnormalities in patients diagnosed with phaeochromocytoma.
