Is a timely assessment of the hematocrit necessary for cardiovascular magnetic resonance–derived extracellular volume measurements?
Abstract Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)–derived extracellular volume (ECV) requires a hematocrit (Hct) to correct contrast volume distributions in blood. However, the timely assessment of Hct can be challenging and has limited the routine clinical application of ECV. The goal of...
