In nonischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NICM), replacement myocardial fibrosis as detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is associated with poor prognosis. We investigated the as-yet unexplored prognostic significance of interstitial fibrosis in NICM, using T1-mapping CMR.

Abstract
In nonischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NICM), replacement myocardial fibrosis as detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) at cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is associated with poor prognosis. We investigated the as-yet unexplored prognostic significance of interstitial fibrosis in NICM, using T1-mapping CMR.File in questo prodotto:
