with late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
Figure 10 | Assessment of myocardial fibrosis with late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). a,b | LGE CMR imaging and histopathology, respectively, of a patient with severe aortic regurgitation. A small amount of myocardial fibrosis on LGE CMR (0.8%) corresponded with interstitial fibrosis (12.6%) on histology using picrosirius red staining. c,d | Conversely, in a patient with severe aortic regurgitation, LGE CMR reveals substantial myocardial replacement fibrosis (9.44%) corresponding with 42.7% on histopathology.
