Influence of extracellular volume fraction on peak exercise oxygen pulse following thoracic radiotherapy

Abstract Background Radiation-induced myocardial fibrosis increases heart failure (HF) risk and is associated with a restrictive cardiomyopathy phenotype. The myocardial extracellular volume fraction (ECVF) using contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) quantifies the extent of fibrosis wh...
