Elevated septal native T1 time in cardiac magnetic resonance imaging suggesting myocardial fibrosis in young kidney transplant recipients
Our data suggest the presence of cardiac remodeling with myocardial fibrosis in a significant proportion of young KTx recipients. Non-contrast CMR imaging has the potential to visualize early structural cardiac changes and could become an important diagnostic adjunct in the follow-up of KTx recipients. Longitudinal studies are needed to further evaluate the importance of nT1 in early identification of those at high risk for sudden cardiac death allowing to integrate preventive strategies.
