Parametric mapping techniques provide a non-invasive tool for quantifying tissue alterations
in myocardial disease in those eligible for cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) …

Quantitative myocardial and blood T 1 have recently achieved clinical utility in numerous
pathologies, as they provide non-invasive tissue characterization with the potential to …

Background There are limited data on the incremental value of parametric mapping
compared with core cardiac MRI protocols for suspected cardiomyopathy in routine clinical …

Cardiac T2* mapping is a noninvasive MRI method that is used to identify myocardial iron
accumulation in several iron storage diseases such as hereditary hemochromatosis, sickle …

Sickle cell anemia (SCA)–related cardiomyopathy is characterized by diastolic dysfunction
and hyperdynamic features. Diastolic dysfunction portends early mortality in SCA. Diastolic …

Purpose To compare left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) 3.0-T cardiac magnetic
resonance (MR) imaging T1 values in Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) and hypertrophic …

The increasing use of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is based on its capability
to perform biventricular function assessment and tissue characterization without radiation …

Background We compared cardiovascular magnetic resonance segmental native T1 against
T2* values for the detection of myocardial iron overload (MIO) in thalassaemia major and we …

The restrictive cardiomyopathies constitute a heterogeneous group of myocardial diseases
with a different pathogenesis and overlapping clinical presentations. Diagnosing them …

Background The clinical application of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T 2 and T
