Description
Mariem Dali and co-authors establish, in 2026, reference values for a heart muscle measure in healthy Tunisian volunteers. The measure, from magnetic resonance scans, helps spot heart disease, but its normal range shifts with scanner method, age, sex, and site. No Tunisian reference existed.
Ninety-four volunteers were scanned at two centers with identical machines. One sequence's values fell slightly with age, while the other ran consistently higher and ignored age. Sex differences were minimal, and the shared sequence agreed well across sites. The authors provide the first local reference ranges at this field strength, with a warning that sequence choice changes the numbers.
