FIBROSIS QUANTIFICATION IN HYPERTENSIVE HEART DISEASE WITH LVH AND NON-LVH: FINDINGS FROM T1 MAPPING AND CONTRAST-FREE CARDIAC DIFFUSION-WEIGHTED IMAGING

Fibrosis quantification in Hypertensive Heart Disease with LVH and Non-LVH: Findings from T1 mapping and Contrast-free Cardiac Diffusion-weighted imaging

Abstract This study assessed the extent of fibrosis and the relationship between the ADC value and systolic strain in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (HTN LVH) and hypertensive patients without LVH (HTN non-LVH) using cardiac diffusion-weighted imaging and T1 mapping.T1 mapping was performed in 13 HTN LVH (mean age, 56.23

Distribution of Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV in the Sub-Antarctic Kerguelen Islands and Characterization of Two New Luteovirus Species.

A systematic search for viral infection was performed in the isolated Kerguelen Islands, using a range of polyvalent genus-specific PCR assays.Barley yellow dwarf virus (BYDV) was detected in both introduced Woofer Speaker and native grasses such as Poa cookii.The geographical distribution of BYDV and its prevalence in P.cookii were analyzed using
