Official title
Novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques for Quantitative Cardiac Parametric Mapping
Overview
The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the clinical potential of fast quantitative myocardial tissue characterization using recently emerged Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) techniques to aid the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of patients with myocardial diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and myocarditis.
Interventions
- Other Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) imaging techniques
Evaluation of clinical potential of fast quantitative myocardial tissue characterization using recently emerged CMRI techniques to aid the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of patients with myocardial diseases.
Primary outcome measures
- Clinical value of fast T1, T2, and T2* mapping of the left ventricle for the assessment of necrosis/scar, edema, and possible intramyocardial hemorrhage in patients with heart disease. [Time frame: 2 years]
