Focal and diffuse myocardial fibrosis both contribute to regional hypoperfusion assessed by post-processing quantitative-perfusion MRI techniques

Focal and diffuse myocardial fibrosis both contribute to regional hypoperfusion assessed by post-processing quantitative-perfusion MRI techniques

IntroductionIndications for stress-cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to assess myocardial ischemia and viability are growing. First pass perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) have limited value in balanced ischemia and diffuse fibrosis. Quantitative perfusion (QP) to assess a...
