Examples illustrating cases with diffuse abnormalities in myocardial ECV which are challenging to assess with conventional LGE. Pre-contrast T1-maps (top row), post-contrast T1-maps (2nd row), late gadolinium enhancement (3rd row), and ECV maps (bottom row) for patients with various cardiomyopathies: (a) non-ischemic DCM with diffusely elevated ECV and normal appearing LGE, (b) cardiac amyloidosis with “patchy” LGE enhancement, (c) cardiac amyloidosis with diffusely elevated ECV and globally nulled LGE, and (d) systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS) with globally elevated ECV due to edema and normal LGE.
