Implication

Supports T1 mapping for diffuse myocardial assessment in research; standardization gaps preclude routine clinical adoption.

Key Points

To review the current clinical status, diagnostic capabilities, therapeutic monitoring potential, and standardization challenges of myocardial T1 mapping.
Narrative review synthesizing cardiovascular magnetic resonance literature on T1 mapping applications across diverse myocardial pathologies.
T1 mapping enables the detection and quantitative evaluation of diffuse myocardial fibrosis, infiltrative processes, and storage disorders beyond conventional focal scar imaging.
The technique provides prognostic insights, aids early disease detection, and serves as a potential surrogate endpoint for therapeutic monitoring in drug trials, despite remaining standardization barriers.

Structured PICO

Intervention

Myocardial T1 mapping

Myocardial T1 mapping is a promising but evolving cardiovascular magnetic resonance technique for detecting and quantifying diffuse myocardial fibrosis and infiltrative diseases.

Limitations

Lack of standardization
