Midwall Fibrosis and Cardiac Mechanics: Rigid Body Rotation Is a Novel Marker of Disease Severity in Pediatric Primary Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine"
DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.810005
Abstract: Background Midwall fibrosis (MWF) detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) predicts adverse outcome in adults with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Its relevance in children and adolescents is relatively unknown. Left ventricular (LV)… read more here.
