## Background/objective T2-weighted cardiovascular magnetic resonance (T2W-CMR) has shown utility in diseases such as myocarditis and tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTCM) where myocardial edema may be the predominant pathological abnormality. Since these conditions may affect many myocardial regions,
Patients with acute myocarditis and healthy volunteers were studied to assess the ability of T2 mapping to detect myocardial edema. The T2 maps detected global and regional edema in patients. T2 mapping may be an alternative to STIR images for detecting myocardial edema in patients with acute myocar
## Abstract ## Purpose To quantify global myocardial perfusion using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with heart failure due to idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) and to compare myocardial perfusion and microvascular reactivity with healthy subjects. ## Materials and Methods A t
