Cardiac intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging to assess myocardial microcirculation dysfunction in hypertension

Myocardial microcirculation dysfunction is the most potent predictor of adverse cardiovascular events in hypertension. The current study aimed to apply intravoxel incoherent motion diffusion-weighted imaging (IVIM-DWI) to assess hypertension-related microcirculation dysfunction.
