Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
ECV by T1 mapping MRI provides superior prognostic value for incident cardiovascular events and mortality compared to traditional LGE imaging.
ECV is an independent prognostic marker of incident HF, atherosclerotic CVEs, and all-cause mortality. ECV, with its ability to characterize both diffuse and focal fibrosis processes, better predicted incident events than regional myocardial abnormalities as visualized by LGE imaging in a large multi-ethnic population.
