This study investigated the relationship between cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) T1 mapping parameters and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in non-ischaemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. The results showed that, in DCM, a non-linear relationship existed between NT-proBNP and septal native T1, indicating a complex relationship between the secretion of NT-proBNP and myocardial diffuse fibrosis. When NT-proBNP is greater than the inflection point(1105 pg/ml), NT-proBNP may provide additional value for the judgment of myocardial diffuse fibrosis.
