Native T1 and T2 provide distinctive signatures in hypertrophic cardiac conditions – Comparison of uremic, hypertensive and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Abstract

Our findings reveal different CMR signatures of common hypertrophic cardiac phenotypes. Native T1 was raised in all conditions, indicating the presence of pathologic hypertrophic remodelling. Markedly raised native T2 was CKD-specific, suggesting a prominent role of intramyocardial fluid.
