While an enormous number of studies have documented pathological alterations of the
myocardial native longitudinal relaxation time (T1) and the fraction of the extracellular …

This document is the third part of the guidelines for the protocol, the interpretation and post-

BACKGROUND. Current methods for calculating the myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) …

Background: The calculation of extracellular volume (ECV) in cardiac magnetic resonance
requires hematocrit, limiting its applicability in clinical practice. Based on the linear …

Background Pericardial and pleural effusion are common findings in patients with cardiac
amyloidosis (CA). It is not known, whether effusions correlate with right ventricular (RV) …

Objectives We aimed to evaluate the relationship between mitral annular disjunction (MAD)
severity and myocardial interstitial fibrosis at the left ventricular (LV) base in patients with …

Background: Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (hATTR) is an autosomal dominantly
inherited disorder caused by an accumulation of amyloid fibrils in tissues due to mutations in …

Purpose Calculation of extracellular volume fraction (ECV), a marker of myocardial fibrosis
in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR), requires hematocrit (Hct). We aimed to …

Background Radiation-induced myocardial fibrosis increases heart failure (HF) risk and is
associated with a restrictive cardiomyopathy phenotype. The myocardial extracellular …

Aortic valve stenosis has become the most common valvular heart disease on account of
aging population and increasing life expectancy. Echocardiography is the primary diagnosis …
