Fibrosis is a feature of many cardiomyopathies and the failing heart and is a major
independent predictor of adverse cardiac outcomes. Replacement fibrosis is typically the …

Diffuse interstitial myocardial fibrosis (DMF) and re-placement myocardial fibrosis (or scar)
are common features of a wide variety of pathological conditions of the heart and play an …

Myocardial fibrosis can arise from a range of pathological processes and its presence
correlates with adverse clinical outcomes. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) can provide …

Fibrotic remodelling of the extracellular matrix is a healing mechanism necessary
immediately after myocardial injury. However, prolonged increase in myocardial fibrotic …

Aim Myocardial fibrosis is fundamental in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Late gadolinium
enhancement (LGE) with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is commonly …

Myocardial fibrosis (MF) is defined as excessive production and deposition of extra-cellular
matrix proteins that result in pathologic myocardial remodeling. Three types of MF have …

Diffuse interstitial or replacement myocardial fibrosis are common features of a broad variety
of cardiomyopathies. Myocardial fibrosis leads to impaired cardiac diastolic and systolic …

The current era has seen major advances in myocardial imaging. We are now able to
assess cardiac anatomy, function, tissue composition and disease activity across a wide …

The development of late gadolinium enhancement imaging (LGE) in the late 1990s
revolutionized the clinical application of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in …

The aim of this review is to provide an overview of detection of cardiac fibrosis with MRI
using current standards and novel endogenous MRI techniques. Assessment of cardiac …
