Abstract The Society for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (SCMR) last published its
comprehensive expert panel report of clinical indications for CMR in 2004. This new …

Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is an effective method for noninvasively
imaging the heart which in the last two decades impressively enhanced spatial and temporal …

Myocardial fibrosis is the excessive deposition of extracellular matrix proteins, including
collagens, in the heart. In cardiomyopathies, the formation of interstitial fibrosis and/or …

Aims Profound left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy with diastolic dysfunction and heart failure is
the cardinal manifestation of heart remodelling in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Previous …

A key advantage of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging over other cardiac imaging
modalities is the ability to perform detailed tissue characterization. CMR techniques continue …

Accurate diagnosis, monitoring and treatment decisions in patients with chronic liver disease
currently rely on biopsy as the diagnostic gold standard, and this has constrained early …

Purpose To develop a free‐breathing isotropic‐resolution whole‐heart joint T1 and T2
mapping sequence with Dixon‐encoding that provides coregistered 3D T1 and T2 maps and …

Non-ischemic cardiomyopathies represent a heterogeneous group of myocardial diseases
potentially leading to heart failure, life-threatening arrhythmias, and eventually death …

Despite substantial medical advances over the past decades, sudden cardiac death (SCD)
remains a leading cause of cardiovascular deaths in patients with ischemic heart disease …

Objectives This study sought to determine whether myocardial tissue heterogeneity scanned
by native T1 mapping could improve risk stratification in patients with nonischemic dilated …
