Calculation of the extracellular volume fraction is based on a patient’s hematocrit (Hct), which can be obtained via a clinical blood test or can be estimated synthetically according its linear relationship with the native T1 of the blood.

We therefore assessed the clinical validation of the synthetic Hct compared with the Hct derived from a blood test in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
