Multi-parametric tissue characterisation at mid-slice in cardiomyopathies. On ECV-maps, red areas represent ECV greater than 30%. T1-mapping was done using a modified Look-Locker Inversion Recovery (MOLLI) pulse sequence on 1.5 Tesla Ingenia, Philips, Best, The Netherlands. a HCM showing diffuse and heterogeneous LGE in the anterior wall (yellow arrow, a2). Native T1 was diffusely raised, exceeding the hypertrophied segments (a1). ECV-maps demonstrate higher ECV in and around the diffuse LGE (a3). b DCM with no LGE enhancement (b2) but raised native T1 values in the septum (1000–1200ms) (b1) and raised ECV (b3). c HFpEF Native-T1 values were significantly raised through-out (>1000ms) with no presence of scar on LGE-imaging (c2). ECV maps demonstrated patchy rise in extra-cellular space (c3). Abbreviations: DCM, dilated cardiomyopathy; ECV, extra-cellular volume; HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HCM, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; LGE, Late Gadolinium Enhancement
