In this study, we analyzed T2* value in the mid-left ventricular septum avid both normoxia and hyperoxia among clinical cases with non-ischemic heart disease. The oxygen-enhanced T2* cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) was promising to evaluate the myocardial blood-oxygen dependent (BOLD) response to hyperoxia. The development of quantitative evaluation technique for the oxygen metabolism in human myocardium in vivo has opened up new avenues for the study of the cardiac pathophysiology. To our knowledge, this is the first clinical study that has assessed the myocardial T2* response to hyperoxic respiratory challenge by BOLD-CMR.
