The myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECV) is a
reflection of the relative volume of the extracellular
space and cells in myocardium, and we infer that the
size of the cardiomyocytes affects ECV and in the other
hand could be reflected by ECV. We found through the
present study of swine that ECV correlates negatively
with cardiomyocyte breadth under physiological
conditions, indicating ECV might be a potential MRI
biomarker for cardiomyocyte size estimation in vivo.
