Background Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) based T1 mapping and
extracellular volume fraction (ECV) are powerful tools for identifying myocardial fibrosis. This …

Background Both native T1 time and extracellular volume (ECV) fraction have been shown
to be important measures for the detection of myocardial fibrosis. However, ECV …

T1 mapping and extracellular volume (ECV) fraction are useful new magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI) techniques to evaluate myocardial fibrosis; however, their prognostic value …

Background Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) MRI provides a significant impact on
prognosis in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. However, LGE MRI is less suitable for …

T1 mapping using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is useful for myocardial assessment.
However, its prognostic value is not well defined. The aim of this study was to determine …

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) …

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance T1 mapping is a non-invasive tool for
quantifying tissue alterations in the myocardium. Its prognostic value in non-ischemic dilated …

Background Heart failure-(HF) and arrhythmia-related complications are the main causes of
morbidity and mortality in patients with nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) …

Aim The aim of this study was to determine the value of extracellular volume fraction (ECV)
for the non-invasive assessment of diffuse myocardial fibrosis (MF) in different stages of …

Background Diffuse myocardial fibrosis is frequently observed in histologies of dilated
cardiomyopathy (DCM). T1-mapping techniques have the potential to measure fibrosis …
