Parametric mapping techniques provide a non-invasive tool for quantifying tissue alterations
in myocardial disease in those eligible for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) …

Quantifying myocardial fibrosis (MF) with myocardial extracellular volume measures
acquired during cardiovascular magnetic resonance promises to transform clinical care by …

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 …

This open access book presents a comprehensive overview of dilated cardiomyopathy,
providing readers with practical guidelines for its clinical management. The first part of the …

T1 mapping by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) allows detection of abnormal
myocardium. A number of myocardial abnormalities affects the signal captured in T1 …

Myocardial fibrosis resulting from the excessive deposition of collagen fibers through the
myocardium is a common histopathologic finding in a wide range of cardiovascular …

Heart failure is a growing cardiovascular disease with significant epidemiological, clinical,
and societal implications and represents a high unmet need. Strong efforts are currently …

Background The modified Look‐Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) sequence is commonly
used for myocardial T1 mapping. However, it acquires images with different inversion times …

Purpose: We sought to use non-contrast-enhanced T 1 mapping to determine the native T 1
values required to identify myocardial fibrosis in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy …

The myocardial interstitium has emerged as a potential therapeutic target and as a
biological entity to improve risk stratification and better guide existing interventions. Clinical …
