Texture analysis of magnetic resonance T1 maps and extracellular volume in heart failure compared with normal controls

Non-ischemic heart failure is a widely prevalent disease characterized by myocardial dysfunction resulting from a variety of causes, some of which have yet to be fully defined. To assess the T1 and extracellular volume (ECV) maps of left ventricle (LV) of patients with non-ischemic heart failure (NIHF) by cardiac MRI.
