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

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the histological correlation of native
myocardial T1 and extracellular volume fraction (ECV) measurement at 3-T for the …

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the value of extracellular volume fraction (ECV)
for the non-invasive assessment of diffuse myocardial fibrosis (MF) in different stages of …

Background Myocardial extravascular extracellular volume fraction (Ve) measures quantify
diffuse fibrosis not readily detectable by conventional late gadolinium (Gd) enhancement …

Background Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping has been used to characterize
myocardial diffuse fibrosis. The aim of this study is to determine the reproducibility and …

Background Diffuse myocardial fibrosis, and to a lesser extent global myocardial edema, are
important processes in heart disease which are difficult to assess or quantify 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 …

Background: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between the cardiac
magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived native T1 relaxation time and myocardial extracellular …

Aim Myocardial fibrosis is fundamental in the pathogenesis of heart failure. Late gadolinium
enhancement (LGE) with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is commonly …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether extracellular volume
fraction (ECV) can reliably inform on the extent of diffuse fibrosis in the simultaneous …
