Objectives: To investigate interstitial muscle fibrosis via T1 mapping indices and its relationships with muscle function and conservative treatment outcomes.
Methods: A total of 49 DM patients with PAD were prospectively recruited from 2016 to 2017. All PAD patients underwent pre-treatment MRI with conservative treatment via a rehabilitation program and antiplatelet therapy.
Article Synopsis
- * This study included 50 patients recovering from acute HF and 21 controls, using MRI techniques to assess myocardial TG and left ventricular (LV) function.
- * Results showed higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) in patients compared to controls, revealing that UFA content negatively correlated with LV function, mass, and volume, indicating a potential relationship between fat content and heart recovery.
