The association between ECV and microcirculation perfusion abnormalities in non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy
- Abstract:
- Background Myocardial fibrosis and abnormalities of the microcirculation are features of non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and may contribute to adverse remodeling. However, relationship between perfusion abnormalities and diffuse fibrosis has not been fully characterised. CMR allows quantification of the extracellular volume fraction (ECV), a marker of fibrosis, and absolute myocardial blood flow, in a single study. We hypothesised that increased ECV was associated with impaired myocardial perfusion reserve (MPR) in DCM patients. Methods
