TL;DR: Regardless of the disease under study, the FWHM technique for LGE quantification gives LGE volume mean results similar to manual quantification and is statistically the most reproducible, reducing required sample sizes by up to one-half.

TL;DR: The diverse role of CMR in HF is discussed, allowing the understanding of aetiology and pathophysiology of HF in the individual patient, permitting specific therapy to be administered and predicting prognosis.

TL;DR: To evaluate the role of diffuse myocardial fibrosis (DMF) in familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy (fDCM) using Equilibrium Contrast-CMR, a recently described technique that permits the non-invasive and accurate assessment of DMF by measuring the myocardIAL contrast volume of distribution (Vd(m)) at equilibrium contrast.

TL;DR: A 30-year-old man was referred for cardiac and hepatic iron quantification by cardiovascular magnetic resonance after nonadherence to anticoagulation and parenteral therapy, his Portacath had thrombosed, necessitating removal.

TL;DR: This work used equilibrium contrast CMR (EQ-CMR), to measure the degree of interstitial expansion by measuring the volume of distribution of contrast, Vd(m), and hypothesized that LGE in different disease processes would have different degrees ofInterstitial expansion.
