FIGURE 1. Factors Influencing Myocardial ECV Fraction Calculation.

FIGURE 1

Potential underlying causes of changes in LV mass and remodeling of the intracellular and extracellular volume fractions due to changes in cardiomyocyte sizes, volume status, and collagen deposition resulting in myocardial fibrosis. ↑ = increased; ↓ = decreased; – = no change; red bars = cardiomyocytes; blue squiggles = interstitial fibrosis; ECV = extracellular volume; LV = left ventricular.
