In addition to the depiction of anatomy and function, tissue characterization of the myocardium has emerged as an important asset of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). Among the tissue properties that are quantifiable by CMR is diffuse myocardial fibrosis. Diffuse fibrosis is regarded to be the common pathological pathway toward loss of myocardial function in many cardiac conditions, including c...
