Importance of standardizing timing of hematocrit measurement when using cardiovascular magnetic resonance to calculate myocardial extracellular volume (ECV) based on pre- and post-contrast T1 mapping

Table 1 Patient characteristics

ARVC = arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, BSA = body surface area, DCM = dilated cardiomyopathy, EDV = end-diastolic volume, EF = ejection fraction, ESV = end-systolic volume, HCM = hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, HR = heart rate, IHD = ischemic heart disease, LV = left ventricular, PAH = pulmonary arterial hypertension, SV = stroke volume *Three patients had dual pathology
