Figure 3 Myocardial Collagen Content and Post-Contrast T1 Times
Endomyocardial biopsy specimens from 9 subjects after cardiac transplantation were stained with picrosirius red, and collagen content was calculated as a percentage of total myocardial tissue. The post-contrast myocardial T1 time shortened significantly as the myocardial collagen content increased (r = –0.7, p = 0.03).
