Synopsis

This study evaluated a cardiac T1ρdispersion mapping technique, termed as myocardial fibrosis index (mFI), to distinguish various levels of fibrosis in different subtypes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). These subtypes included patients with or without obstructive HCM, and with or without hypertrophic myocardial segments. Our data demonstrated that the mFI is equal to or significantly better than other cardiac fibrosis index, contrast-derived extracellular volumes, and native T1 values.
