Figure 1

Iodine map shows the measurement of ECV with low value. (A) The iodine map were reconstructed in a short axis view with an 8-mm thickness from the base to apex. (B) A 75-year-old man with HFpEF, myocardial iodine/blood iodine is 43.8% for the base left ventricle, 42.5% for the middle left ventricle, and 36.5% for the apes left ventricle. The serum hematocrit level is 44.2%. The mean ECV of the left ventricle base is calculated as 24.44%, and the mean ECV of the middle, apex, and whole left ventricle is calculated as 23.72%, 20.2%, and 23.11%.
