Assessment of myocardial fibrosis by endoventricular electromechanical mapping in experimental nonischemic cardiomyopathy
Abstract
Cardiac fibrosis plays an important prognostic role in nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), making it a potential therapeutic target. Although electromechanical mapping has been used to identify myocardial scar and facilitate intramyocardial intervention in the setting of ischemic heart disease, its application has not been described in NICM. We assessed the detection of myocardial fibrosis by endoventricular electromechanical mapping in an …
