Key result
T2 mapping and T2* imaging provide valuable quantitative assessment of myocardial inflammation and iron overload, expanding the diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in heart failure.
T2 mapping and T2* imaging serve as valuable quantitative adjuncts to established qualitative CMR techniques, expanding diagnostic and prognostic capabilities in heart failure.

May refine HF phenotyping with CMR; leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Lota et al. (2017) conducted a review in Heart failure. T2 mapping and T2* imaging vs. Conventional cardiovascular magnetic resonance (T2-STIR) was evaluated. T2 mapping and T2* imaging provide valuable quantitative assessment of myocardial inflammation and iron overload, expanding the diagnostic and prognostic capabilities of cardiovascular magnetic resonance in heart failure.
