Objectives: This study sought to determine the relationship of cardiovascular magnetic
resonance (CMR) measures of tissue composition to age in the Multi-Ethnic Study of …

Background—Cardiac remodeling occurs in response to regular athletic training, and the
degree of remodeling is associated with fitness. Understanding the myocardial structural …

Purpose To optimize and validate a fully‐integrated version of modified Look‐Locker
inversion‐recovery (MOLLI) for clinical single‐breathhold cardiac T1 mapping. Materials and …

T1 maps obtained with modified Look‐Locker inversion recovery (MOLLI) can be used to
measure myocardial T1. We aimed to evaluate the potential of MOLLI T1 mapping for the …

Myocardial T1 mapping by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a key emerging
biomarker for quantification of myocardial disease. Native myocardial T1 changes with fat …

A prospective study approved by the local ethics committee was performed to establish the
normal range and reproducibility of myocardial T1 values as assessed with single-breath …

Although ischemic heart disease remains the leading cause of cardiac-related morbidity and
mortality in the industrialized countries, a growing number of mainly elderly patients will …

Objectives: In the setting of reperfused acute myocardial infarction (AMI), the authors sought
to compare prediction of contractile recovery by infarct extracellular volume (ECV), as …

Accurate determination of left ventricular (LV) myocardial function is fundamental for clinical
diagnosis, risk stratification, and estimation of prognosis in patients with ischemic and …

Background Parametric mapping sequences in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)
allow for non-invasive myocardial tissue characterization. However quantitative myocardial …
