Presence of myocardial fibrosis on cardiac MRI and its impact on short-term outcomes in an Asian cohort of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)
Higher T1 values but not T2 values , were associated with the HFpEF group compared to the age and sex-matched control group. Focal fibrosis, as evident by LGE, was significantly more in HFpEF. Among HFpEF patients, high T1 myocardial values were associated with a higher rate of all-cause death, stroke, and HF hospitalization in short-term follow-up.
