Purpose The ability to non-invasively image myocardial microvascular dilation and
constriction is essential to assessing intact function and dysfunction. Yet, conventional …

Oxygenation-sensitive cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (OS-CMR) is a diagnostic
technique that uses the inherent paramagnetic properties of deoxyhemoglobin as an …

Background—The decision to perform coronary revascularization procedures may hinge on
assessment of myocardial perfusion reserve. Blood oxygen level–dependent (BOLD) MRI is …

Background Dynamic first pass contrast-enhanced myocardial perfusion is the standard
CMR method for the estimation of myocardial blood flow (MBF) and MBF reserve in man, but …

Introduction: One crucial goal of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with
coronary artery disease (CAD) is the characterization of myocardial microcirculation that …

Background Myocardial blood flow (MBF) varies throughout the cardiac cycle in response to
phasic changes in myocardial tension. The aim of this study was to determine if quantitative …

Left ventricular remodeling as a result of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is associated with
significant morbidity, leading to cardiovascular dysfunction, disability, and death. Despite …

Background An accurate description of the heterogeneity in myocardial blood flow (MBF) by
CMR is needed for understanding the physiology of perfusion variability. Methods …

Abstract Knowledge on sex differences in myocardial perfusion, blood volume (MBV), and
extracellular volume (ECV) in healthy individuals is scarce and conflicting. Therefore, this …

Objective To validate fast perfusion mapping techniques in a setting of coronary artery
stenosis, and to further assess the relationship of absolute myocardial blood volume (MBV) …
