Relationship of extracellular volume assessed on cardiac magnetic resonance and serum cardiac troponins and natriuretic peptides with heart failure outcomes

Abstract Measures of serum cardiac troponins and natriuretic peptides have become established as prognostic heart failure risk markers. In addition to detecting myocardial fibrosis through late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), extracellular volume fraction (ECV) measures by cardiac magnetic resonance (...
