Popis: Background Hypertension is associated with the development of myocardial fibrosis with a subsequent increase in the myo- cardial extracellular volume (ECV). T1 measurements pre and post a contrast cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) study provide a robust non-invasive method for quantifi- cation of the ECV. We aimed to determine whether the CMR-derived ECV can differentiate healthy volunteers from patients with systemic arterial hypertension. Methods of 61±6%. In comparison to healthy controls, patients with hypertension had elevated LV volumes, LV mass, and left atrial volumes. The ECV was elevated in patients with hypertension as compared to healthy controls (hyperten- sion vs. healthy controls, 0.34±0.03 vs. 0.29±0.03, p
