Excerpt

As a precursor to overt heart failure, diabetics experience a unique alteration in myocardial architecture marked by diffuse interstitial fibrosis. We hypothesized that the myocardial extracellular volume fraction (MECVF) could be used to detect myocardial matrix remodeling and its relationship to ventricular structure and function in diabetics without cardiovascular disease. …
