Background Aortic stenosis (AS) leads to diffuse fibrosis in the myocardium, which is linked
to adverse outcome. Myocardial T1 values change with tissue composition. Objective To test …

Purpose To assess whether native T1 mapping provides noninvasive estimation of diffuse
myocardial fibrosis and whether it correlates with subclinical myocardial dysfunction in …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether native T1 value of the myocardium
on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) could predict clinical events in patients with …

Background—Diffuse myocardial fibrosis is a final end point in most cardiac diseases. It is
missed by the cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement …

Objectives: This study assessed diffuse myocardial fibrosis (MF) by cardiac magnetic
resonance (CMR) imaging and speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) in patients with …

Aims To determine the optimal T1 mapping approach to assess myocardial fibrosis at 3T.
Methods and results T1 mapping was performed at 3T using the modified look-locker …

Abstract Background Gadolinium (Gd) Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) by
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) has been proposed as a non-invasive method …

Aims Haemodynamics alone do not fully explain symptoms and prognosis in clinically
severe aortic stenosis (AS). Myocardial disease, specifically diffuse myocardial fibrosis …

Aims To determine the bioequivalence of several T1 mapping sequences in myocardial
characterization of diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Methods and results We performed an intra …

Aortic stenosis is characterized both by progressive valve narrowing and the left ventricular
remodeling response that ensues. The only effective treatment is aortic valve replacement …
