Myocardial fibrosis is recognized as the pathologic entity of extracellular matrix remodeling.
Diffuse, reactive fibrosis is being increasingly recognized in a variety of conditions despite …

Abstract Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is recognised as a valuable clinical
tool which in a single scan setting can assess ventricular volumes and function, myocardial …

The developmental history of the gadolinium chelates, which spans 30 years, is described,
focusing, in part, on the seminal work with each of the major agents in use today. By …

Purpose To compare the accuracy of detection and quantification of myocardial late
gadolinium enhancement (LGE) with a synthetic inversion-recovery (IR) approach with that …

Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can cause sudden death, which is the leading cause of mortality in
patients with sarcoidosis in Japan. However, it is difficult to diagnose CS because of the lack …

Objective To assess active myocardial inflammation by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
(CMR) and endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) amongst adult patients with dilated …

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inheritable cardiovascular
disorder. Although many HCM patients remain asymptomatic, sudden death (SD) can occur …

Background Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is a ventricular conduction delay with high
prevalence. Aim of our study is to identify possible recurring patterns of artefacts in late …

Backgrounds Synthetic late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images are less sensitive to
inversion time (TI) and robust to motion artifact, because it is generated retrospectively by …

心脏磁共振成像在心血管疾病影像学中的地位日益显著. 近年来随着一系列新的心脏磁共振成像
