BACKGROUND: Diabetes mellitus (DM) promotes myocardial remodeling through advanced glycation end-products, interstitial fibrosis, and microvascular dysfunction. We investigated whether native T1 mapping captures this adverse phenotype and provides incremental prognostic information beyond established clinical risk factors in a real-world population. METHODS: Patients undergoing CMR were enrolled in a prospective...
