Background Few data exist on the degree of interstitial myocardial fibrosis in patients with
classical low-flow, low-gradient aortic stenosis (LFLG-AS) and its association with left …

Abstract Purpose of Review Parametric mapping represents a significant innovation in
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) tissue characterisation, allowing the …

Background Patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) have progressive, adverse
biventricular remodeling, leading to abnormal contractile mechanics. Defining the …

Novel tissue biomarkers based on the spin–lattice relaxation time T1, a fundamental
property in the theory of magnetic resonance physics, have emerged as a new approach for …

Myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance
(CMR) estimates the proportion of myocardial extracellular space relative to its cellular …

Objectives We aimed to evaluate the relationship between mitral annular disjunction (MAD)
severity and myocardial interstitial fibrosis at the left ventricular (LV) base in patients with …

Mapping of the longitudinal relaxation time (T 1) and extracellular volume (ECV) offers a
means of identifying pathological changes in myocardial tissue, including diffuse changes …

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can be used to calculate
myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) by relating the longitudinal relaxation rate in …

Sarcoidosis is a relatively rare inflammatory condition which potentially carries high
morbidity and substantial mortality. Due to the fact that it does not subject patients to ionizing …

Background Extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is altered in pathological cardiac
remodeling and predicts death and arrhythmia. ECV can be quantified using cardiovascular …
