Keywords: Heart, Myocardium
Purpose: To investigate the feasibility of assessing myocardial microvascular perfusion of patients with exertional heat illness (EHI) by intravoxel incoherent motion imaging.
Methods: CMR-IVIM image quality was evaluated with a 3-point scale. CMR-IVIM derived parameters were analyzed and compared between EHI and HC. Receiver operating characteristic curve was used.
Results: CMR-IVIM image quality were significantly improved. EHI patients showed decreased D*, decreased f values and higher D values compared to HC. f showed the most robust efficacy for detecting EHI related myocardial injury with the highest area under the curve.
Conclusion: CMR-IVIM can evaluate myocardial injury of EHI patients.
