Article Synopsis
- Researchers are working on a new method called cine-generated enhancement (CGE) that helps doctors see heart damage without using special dye that can be risky.
- They tested this on a lot of patient data and found that CGE made better images of heart problems than the traditional method.
- CGE was really good at showing the size of heart scars and how deep they are, and it worked well even in healthy patients, proving it’s a safe and effective option!
Background: Myocardial fibrosis is a common feature in various cardiac diseases. It causes adverse cardiac remodeling and is associated with poor clinical outcomes.
