Defining myocardial fibrosis in haemodialysis patients with non-contrast cardiac magnetic resonance

Abstract Background Extent of myocardial fibrosis (MF) determined using late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) predicts outcomes, but gadolinium is contraindicated in advanced renal disease. We assessed the ability of native T1-mapping to identify and quantify MF in aortic stenosis patients (AS) as a model...
