The assessment of MW is feasible in normal subjects. The presented referral ranges of global myocardial WI, CW, WW, and WE were not affected by age. An apex-to-base gradient was observed for all MW parameters. Nevertheless, the wide variability of MW parameters prevents for the moment the application of this technique in the routine clinical setting.
