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

In cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging, the T1 relaxation time for the 1H
magnetization in myocardial tissue may represent a valuable biomarker for a variety of …

Myocardial fibrosis refers to a variety of quantitative and qualitative changes in the interstitial
myocardial collagen network that occur in response to cardiac ischaemic insults, systemic …

Objectives: The study sought to examine prognostic relevance of T1 mapping parameters
(based on a T1 mapping method) in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) and …

Objectives: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was used to investigate the extracellular

Background Myocardial fibrosis is a key mechanism of left ventricular decompensation in
aortic stenosis and can be quantified using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) …

Aortic stenosis is characterized both by progressive valve narrowing and the left ventricular
remodeling response that ensues. The only effective treatment is aortic valve replacement …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance provides insights into myocardial structure and function
noninvasively, with high diagnostic accuracy and without ionizing radiation. Myocardial …
