Background Myocardial tissue characterization by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
(CMR) T1 mapping currently receives increasing interest as a diagnostic tool in various …

Background T1 mapping is emerging as a powerful tool in cardiac magnetic resonance
(CMR) to evaluate diffuse fibrosis. However, right ventricular (RV) T1 mapping proves …

The assumption of the presence of diffuse myocardial fibrosis in long-standing cyanotic
congenital heart disease (CHD) inspired us to noninvasively determine the myocardial …

Post-contrast myocardial T1 (T1 myo, c) values have been shown to be sensitive to
myocardial fibrosis. Recent studies have shown differences in results obtained from T1 myo …

Background Diffuse myocardial fibrosis may be quantified with magnetic resonance (MR) by
calculating extracellular volume (ECV) fraction from native and post-contrast T1 values. The …

Rapid innovations in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) now permit the routine
acquisition of quantitative measures of myocardial and blood T1 which are key tissue …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether extracellular volume
fraction (ECV) can reliably inform on the extent of diffuse fibrosis in the simultaneous …

Background Quantitative measurements in the myocardium may be used to detect both focal
and diffuse disease processes that result in an elevation of T1 and/or extracellular volume …

Focal fibrosis, most due to myocardial infarction, is readily identified by cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR) using widely validated late gadolinium enhancement methods. However …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to prospectively investigate the diagnostic and
prognostic impact of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping and validate it against …
