RECRUITINGINTERVENTIONAL
Quantitative Cardiac Parametric Mapping
Novel Magnetic Resonance Imaging Techniques for Quantitative Cardiac Parametric Mapping
About This Trial
The overall goal of this project is to evaluate the clinical potential of fast quantitative myocardial tissue characterization using recently emerged Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CMR) techniques to aid the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up of patients with myocardial diseases, such as ischemic heart disease, cardiomyopathies, and myocarditis.
