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

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 …

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 …

Aims To investigate myocardial fibrosis (MF) in a large series of severe aortic stenosis (AS)
