Assessment of the interstitial volume in healthy volunteers. An equilibrium contrast CMR study Daniel Sado1*, Viviana Maestrini1, Andrew Flett1, Steven K White1, Sanjay M Banypersad1, Jonathan Hasleton1, Graham Sado2, James Moon1 From 15th Annual SCMR Scientific Sessions Orlando, FL, USA. 2-5 February 2012 Summary In this study we have used Equilibrium contrast CMR (EQ-CMR) to evaluate the cardiac insterstium in healthy volunteers creating a table of normal values and finding no correlation with age, but differences with gender, height and hematocrit. Background EQ-CMR is a new method for assessment of the myocardial contrast volume of distribution, Vd(m), a marker of interstitial space. We used EQ-CMR to assess the Vd (m) in healthy volunteers to ascertain normal age/gender values.
