Diffuse myocardial fibrosis assessed by CMR T1 mapping correlates with subclinical systolic and diastolic dysfunction in diabetic patients.
Abstract
A shorter global contrast-enhanced myocardial T(1) time was associated with more impaired longitudinal myocardial systolic and diastolic function in diabetic patients.
