Aims To use cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with quantitative T2 mapping as surrogate for myocardial water content in patients with advanced decompensated heart failure (ADHF), compare these values with T2-values observed in chronic heart failure, and evaluate the change with decongestive therapy. Methods and results Volumetric CMR measurements and quantitative T2 mapping were performed in 18 consecutive ADHF patients with clinical signs of volume overload. Eleven patients with stable heart failure were used as controls. Vasodilator therapy and diuretics were administered to achieve a pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP) of |
