Brief description Diffuse myocardial fibrosis is the widespread deposition of scar tissue in heart muscle and is a common final pathway of cardiac disease. A new technique (contrast-enhanced T1 mapping) using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can non-invasively detect this scarring. The proposed research intends to further determine the significance of diffuse myocardial fibrosis in cardiac disease, evaluate its link with diastolic heart failure and examine the potential therapeutic role of anti-fibrotic agents.
