Native T1 and Extracellular Volume Measurements by Cardiac MRI in Healthy Adults: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Purpose To summarize the literature by performing a systematic review and pooled analysis of the data, to understand the extent of variability among studies of native T1 and extracellular volume (ECV) measurements, and to identify covariates that account for heterogeneity between studies. Materials and Methods PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Central were searched for native T1 and ECV measurements of the left ventricle in health adult study participants. The search terms used were "T1 mapping heart," "Native T1 heart," and "ECV heart." Summary means were generated with random-effects modeling. Heterogeneity was assessed by using the inconsistency factor (I ²). Subgroup analyses and meta-regression analyses were conducted to identify etiologic causes of heterogeneity. Result
