Abstract This JACC Scientific Expert Panel provides consensus recommendations for an
update of the cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) diagnostic criteria for myocardial …

After a reperfused myocardial infarction (MI), dynamic tissue changes occur (edema,
inflammation, microvascular obstruction, hemorrhage, cardiomyocyte necrosis, and …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has become the primary tool for noninvasive
assessment of myocardial inflammation in patients with suspected myocarditis. The …

Purpose To validate a new saturation recovery singleshot acquisition (SASHA) pulse
sequence for T1 mapping and to compare SASHA T1 values in heart failure patients and …

Background—Extracellular matrix expansion may be a fundamental feature of adverse
myocardial remodeling, it appears to be treatable, and its measurement may improve risk …

Objectives: This study sought to test the diagnostic performance of native T1 mapping in
acute myocarditis compared with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques such as …

Background T2w-CMR is used widely to assess myocardial edema. Quantitative T1-
mapping is also sensitive to changes in free water content. We hypothesized that T1 …

Aims Diabetes may promote myocardial extracellular matrix (ECM) expansion that increases
vulnerability. We hypothesized that:(i) type 2 diabetes would be associated with quantitative …

Abstract Background T2-Weighted (T2W) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse
sequences have been used to detect edema in patients with acute myocardial infarction and …

Noninvasive imaging plays a central role in the diagnosis of heart failure, assessment of
prognosis, and monitoring of therapy. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers a …
