Myocardial fibrosis, either focal or diffuse, is a common feature of many cardiac diseases
and is associated with a poor prognosis for major adverse cardiovascular events. Although …

Myocardial fibrosis is an important part of cardiac remodeling that leads to heart failure and
death. Myocardial fibrosis results from increased myofibroblast activity and excessive …

Objectives: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was used to investigate the extracellular
compartment and myocardial fibrosis in patients with aortic stenosis, as well as their …

Myocardial fibrosis is a remodeling process of the extracellular matrix (ECM) following
cardiac stress.“Replacement fibrosis” describes the wound healing aspect in the acute …

Myocardial interstitial fibrosis (MIF) is a histological hallmark of several cardiac diseases that
alter myocardial architecture and function and are associated with progression to heart …

Fibrosis plays an important role in many different pathologies. It results from tissue injury,
chronic inflammation, autoimmune reactions and genetic alterations, and it is characterized …

Quantitative myocardial and blood T 1 have recently achieved clinical utility in numerous
pathologies, as they provide non-invasive tissue characterization with the potential to …

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 …

Myocardial fibrosis is a common pattern in the setting of different heart diseases, and
promotes ventricular tachyarrhythmias by creating a vulnerable substrate for reentrant …

The inappropriate deposition of extracellular matrix within the heart (termed cardiac fibrosis)
is associated with nearly all types of heart disease, including ischemic, hypertensive …
