Purpose This study aimed to assess the efficacies of the myocardial T1 value and the
extracellular volume fraction (ECV) for determining the severity of myocardial fibrosis in …

Rationale and Objectives Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is commonly
obtained to evaluate for myocardial infiltrative disorders and fibrosis. Pre-and post …

Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) of the heart is a new diagnostic approach
for the quantitative evaluation of the coronary artery in adults. However, in children, the …

The increasing use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is based on its capability
to perform biventricular function assessment and tissue characterization without radiation …

BACKGROUND: Myocardial fibrosis leads to impaired cardiac function and events.
Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) assessed with an iodinated contrast agent and …

Abstract Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance is increasingly used to differentiate the
aetiology of cardiomyopathies. Late Gadolinium Enhancement (LGE) is the reference …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to investigate a noninvasive method for
quantifying diffuse myocardial fibrosis with cardiac MRI in patients with dilated …

Measuring myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) with cardiovascular magnetic
resonance (CMR) is achieving increasing importance because it allows quantification of …

To assess the global and segmental left ventricular (LV) native T1 and extracellular volume
fraction (ECV) in children and young adults with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) …

Diffuse myocardial fibrosis in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is not readily
detected by conventional late gadolinium enhanced CMR. Our study was aimed to detect …
