Background The extracellular volume fraction (ECV) by T1 mapping measures the size of
the myocardial interstitium. T1 changes in blood and myocardium are used to measure the …

We measured extracellular volume fraction (Ve) from pre-and post-contrast T1 maps of the
left ventricle in 13 patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and 13 age-matched controls. SSc …

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance techniques permit quantification of the
myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV), representing a surrogate marker of reactive …

Background: T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) calculations in cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR), have the potential to identify early fibrosis that is not yet visible using late …

We acknowledge that with 6 subjects, the power of our study to assess the significance of
between-subject correlation is limited and cannot rule out an underlying significant …

Background: T1 mapping has become a critical tool for the assessment of myocardial diffuse
fibrosis by cardiac MRI (CMR) and is standard of care for the diagnosis of myocarditis. While …

Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the commonest inheritable
cardiac disorders. Being a global disease with diffuse myocardial fibrosis, it has a wide …

Myocardial interstitial expansion seems to be fundamental to the process of adverse left
ventricular remodeling. Recent evidence has shown that the extracellular volume fraction …

The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between imaging surrogates for
diffuse fibrosis and myocardial dysfunction. Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate a noninvasive method for
quantifying diffuse myocardial fibrosis with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMRI) …
