Myocardial
microcirculation perfusion dysfunction plays an important role in assessment cardiac
disease especially diabetes and hypertension because of their high incidence in
the world. We preliminarily investigated the difference of myocardial micro-vascular
perfusion between patients with diabetes/hypertension and normal volunteers
with IVIM (0, 20, 50, 80, 120, 150, 200, 300, 500 s/mm2) diffusion
weighted imaging. We found that Fast ADC values in patients were significant
lower than in healthy volunteers. We concluded that IVIM CMR could quantitatively
and noninvasively evaluate perfusion status in patients with diabetes and/or
hypertension.
