Myocardial fibrosis detected with Gadolinium Delayed Enhancement in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Ventriculoarterial Coupling alterations in patients with Acute Myocarditis.

Further studies are needed to investigate the potential quantitative, rather than qualitative, relationships between these variables. PMID: 28081949 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
