Clinical application of T1-myocardial mapping: review of literature and first experience of clinical application

The present review summarizes the data of modern studies on the capabilities of non-invasive evaluation of myocardial tissue, which is widely used in clinical practice for diagnosis of various nosologies. The quantitative assessment of myocardial fibrosis via T1 mapping and extracellular volume fraction can replace myocardial punch biopsy. The paper presents the data of quantitative measurements that help to assess the morphological changes in the hearts of professional athletes and the dynamics of exercise-induced myocardial remodeling.
