TLDR
Following myocardial injury, the left ventricular (LV) myocardia can undergo abnormal expansion (due to inflammation and interstitial fibrosis) that can be identified with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) assessments of extracellular volume fraction (ECV).
Abstract
Following myocardial injury, the left ventricular (LV) myocardial extracellular matrix (ECM) can undergo abnormal expansion (due to inflammation and interstitial fibrosis) that can be identified with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) assessments of extracellular volume fraction (ECV) [(1,2)][1].

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance in the Oncology Patient

TL;DR: Prior research involving cardiovascular magnetic resonance for assessing cardiovascular disease in patients with or previously having received treatment for cancer is outlined and described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Irisin ameliorates doxorubicin-induced cardiac perivascular fibrosis through inhibiting endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition by regulating ROS accumulation and autophagy disorder in endothelial cells.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper used a low-dose long-term mouse DIC model, and found that the perivascular fibrosis was involved in its myocardial toxicity with the underlying mechanism of endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT).

Doxorubicin-Induced Myocardial Fibrosis Involves the Neurokinin-1 Receptor and Direct Effects on Cardiac Fibroblasts

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cardiac fibrosis induced by Anth-bC can be reduced by NK-1R blockade, and the residual fibrotic response is likely due to direct Dox effects on cardiac fibroblasts to produce collagen.

The pathogenesis of cardiac fibrosis

TL;DR: Both experimental and clinical evidence suggests that cardiac fibrotic alterations may be reversible, and understanding the mechanisms responsible for initiation, progression, and resolution of cardiac fibrosis is crucial to design anti-fibrotic treatment strategies for patients with heart disease.

Extracellular volume fraction mapping in the myocardium, part 1: evaluation of an automated method

TL;DR: Fully automated motion correction and co-registration of breath-holds significantly improve the quality of ECV maps, thus making the generation ofECV-maps feasible for clinical work flow.

Diffuse myocardial fibrosis by T1-mapping in children with subclinical anthracycline cardiotoxicity: relationship to exercise capacity, cumulative dose and remodeling

TL;DR: Myocardial T1 and ECV were found to be early tissue markers of ventricular remodeling that may represent diffuse fibrosis in children with normal ejection fraction post anthracycline therapy, and are related to cumulative dose, exercise capacity and myocardial wall thinning.
