Assessing Acute Pericarditis with T1 Mapping: A Supportive Contrast-Free CMR Marker.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of pericardial T1 mapping as a potential supportive non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parameter in the diagnosis of acute pericarditis. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between T1 mapping values in acute pericarditis patients and their demographic data, cardiovascular risk factors, clinical parameters, cardiac biomarkers, and cardiac function.

Method

This retrospective study included CMR scans in 35 consecutive patients with acute pericarditis (26 males, 45.54 ± 23.38 years). Moreover, we included 17 sex- and age-matched healthy controls (12 males, mean age 47.78 ±19.38 years). CMR-derived pericardial T1 mapping values, which included all pericardial structures within the pericardi
