Synopsis

Keywords: Cardiomyopathy, CardiovascularAlthough the T2 mapping is mainly used to evaluate myocardial water content, it is also sensitive to blood oxygenation levels, we found that in dilated cardiomyopathy the right ventricular dark right ventricular blood pool may affect the accurate quantification of myocardial T2 values. This study investigated the relationship between right ventricular blood pool on myocardial T2 mapping and indicators of cardiac function.
