CMR is considered the reference standard for in vivo assessment of myocardial fibrosis. Native T1 and extracellular volume fraction can provide additional fibrosis-related measures when available. LGE detects focal myocardial scar or fibrosis and can quantify fibrosis as a percentage of left ventricular myocardial mass. CMR is expensive and often less accessible in endemic resource-constrained settings.
