Core Tip	We review characteristic cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) features in ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathies (NICM), especially in terms of location and distribution of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE). LGE in NICM does not correspond to any particular coronary artery distribution and is located mostly in the mid-wall to subepicardial layer. The analysis of LGE distribution is valuable to differentiate NICM with diffusely impaired systolic function; dilated cardiomyopathy, end-stage hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), cardiac sarcoidosis, and myocarditis, and those with diffuse LV hypertrophy; HCM, cardiac amyloidosis and Anderson-Fabry disease. The analyses of LGE distribution have potentials to predict cardiac outcomes and response to treatments.
