Impact of Systemic Volume Status on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance T1 Mapping
Abstract Diffuse myocardial fibrosis is a key pathophysiologic feature in heart failure and can be quantified by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping. However, increases in myocardial free water also prolong native T1 times and may impact fibrosis quantification. Thus far, the impact of syste...
