Excerpt

Cardiac magnetic resonance (MR) imaging can identify the presence of diffuse fibrosis in patients with myocardial diseases using T1 mapping. We evaluated the post-gadolinium T1 relaxation time in milliseconds (ms) in patients with pulmonary hypertension compared to controls to investigate for the presence of diffuse myocardial fibrosis in this patient population. …
