In this study, diffuse myocardial fibrosis was quantifitied in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) rhesus monkeys with different severity diastolic dysfunction (DD) using ECV derived from T1 mapping and mFI derived from non-contrast T1ρ mapping. Different behaviors of ECV and mFI to differentiate HC from T2DM with mild DD was observed. This reflects the difference between extracellular space expansion and collagen content during the process of myocardial fibrosis. This difference is benifite for us to better understand the pathophysiology of DD.
