In this review, the authors describe some of the latest cardiac CT advances in the evaluation
of cardiovascular disease. This includes automated coronary plaque quantification and …

Anisotropy is the property of directional dependence. In cardiac tissue, conduction velocity is
anisotropic and its orientation is determined by myocyte direction. Cell shape and size …

Objectives The aim of this study is to examine the prognostic value of T1 mapping and the
extracellular volume (ECV) fraction in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) …

Objectives This study sought to evaluate the effects of empagliflozin on extracellular volume
(ECV) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and coronary artery disease …

In the past, the identification of myocardial fibrosis was only possible through invasive
histologic assessment. Although endomyocardial biopsy remains the gold standard, recent …

Cardiac MRI has become an indispensable imaging modality in the investigation of patients
with suspected heart disease. It has emerged as the gold standard test for cardiac function …

Aims Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with late-gadolinium enhancement (LGE)
is increasingly being used in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) for diagnosis, risk …

Abstract Objectives Cardiac complications of SSc are a leading cause of SSc-associated
death. Cardiac imaging for identifying substrate abnormality may be useful in predicting risk …

Objectives The aims of this study were to quantify preoperative myocardial fibrosis using late
gadolinium enhancement (LGE), extracellular volume fraction (ECV%), and indexed …

Introduction Elevated myocardial T 1-mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) measured on
cardiac MR (CMR) imaging is associated with myocardial abnormalities such as oedema or …
