Figure 2

Iodine map shows the measurement of ECV with high value. (A) The iodine maps were reconstructed in a short axis view with an 8-mm thickness from the base to apex. (B) A 74-year-old woman with HFpEF, myocardial iodine/blood iodine is 54.8% for the base left ventricle, 51.5% for the middle left ventricle, and 59.1% for the apes left ventricle. The serum hematocrit level is 32.4%. The mean ECV of the left ventricle base is calculated as 37.04%, and the mean ECV of the middle, apex, and whole left ventricle is calculated as 34.81%, 39.95%, and 36.93%.
