T1 Tissue Mapping as a Non Invasive Biomarker for Quantification of Chronic Thyroid Related Microscopic Myocardial Fibrosis.

Overview

CMR T1 tissue mapping helps in detection and quantification of the microscopic myocardial fibrosis and is more accurate and non invasive maneuver.

Chronic thyroid diseased patients either hypo or hyperthyroidism may develop arrhythmias or even atrial fibrillation which is worrisome. And since early detection provides the early management, T1 tissue mapping of the heart provides accurate quantification of the myocardial fibrosis throughout the imaged organ.
