Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is considered the gold standard imaging
modality for myocardial tissue characterization. Elevated transverse relaxation time (T2) is …

On behalf of the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine (ISMRM)
Quantitative MR Study Group, this article provides an overview of considerations for the …

Cardiac MRI has become an indispensable imaging modality in the investigation of patients
with suspected heart disease. It has emerged as the gold standard test for cardiac function …

Myocardial fluid homeostasis relies on a complex interplay between microvascular filtration,
interstitial hydration, cardiomyocyte water uptake and lymphatic removal. Dysregulation of …

Parametric map** of the heart has become an essential part of many cardiovascular
magnetic resonance imaging exams, and is used for tissue characterization and diagnosis …

Fabry disease is a rare, progressive X-linked inherited disorder of glycosphingolipid
metabolism due to a deficiency of α-galactosidase A enzyme. It leads to the accumulation of …

Microvascular integrity is a critical factor in myocardial fluid homeostasis. The subtle
equilibrium between capillary filtration and lymphatic fluid removal is disturbed during …

Introduction In aortic stenosis (AS), the heart transitions from adaptive compensation to an
AS cardiomyopathy and eventually leads to decompensation with heart failure. Better …

Cardiac imaging is progressing from simple imaging of heart structure and function to
techniques visualizing and measuring underlying tissue biological changes that can …

Aims Myocardial fibrosis (MF) takes part in left ventricular (LV) remodelling in patients with
aortic stenosis (AS), driving the transition from hypertrophy to heart failure. The structural …
