Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging enables the assessment of left ventricular
function and pathology. In addition to established contrast-enhanced methods for the …

The accurate measurement of myocardial salvage is critical to the ongoing refinement of
reperfusion strategies in acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Cardiac magnetic resonance …

Background The success of emergency coronary reperfusion therapy in ST-elevation
myocardial infarction (STEMI) is commonly limited by failed tissue perfusion. Purpose To …

Background—The success of coronary reperfusion therapy in ST-segment–elevation
myocardial infarction (MI) is commonly limited by failure to restore microvascular perfusion …

Aims Myocardial haemorrhage is a common complication following reperfusion of ST-
segment-elevation acute myocardial infarction (MI). Although its presence is clearly related …

Purpose To compare the relationship of myocardial edema and corresponding contractile
function over time in patients with reperfused acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Materials …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) using T2-weighted sequences can visualize
myocardial edema. When compared to previous protocols, newer pulse sequences with …

Background Experimental data reported a temporal pattern of myocardial edema following
acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the time …

Technical advances in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) T2-weighted imaging
have allowed in-vivo visualization and accurate quantification of myocardial edema, a …

It has recently been suggested that myocardial oedema follows a bimodal pattern early post
ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Yet, water content, quantified using …
