Fig. 7From: Could native T1 mapping replace late gadolinium enhancement in the assessment of myocardial fibrosis in patients with cardiomyopathy?16 year old male with dilated cardiomyopathy post myocarditis presented with sudden precordial pain like acute myocardial infarction pain, ECG showed ST segment elevation in inferolateral wall (serum creatinine kinease and T-troponin were elevated). a Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was found mid wall septal, inferior and inferolateral segments (arrow). b Non-contrast-enhanced T1 mapping shows that the native T1 value of the inferior and inferolateral segments including LGE is 1125 ms, which is more than 1070 ms)Back to article page
