OBJECTIVES Post-infarction myocardial scar causes adverse left ventricular remodelling
and negatively affects the prognosis. We sought to investigate whether scar extent and …

Objective Post-infarction myocardial scar as detected by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)
is associated with adverse left ventricular (LV) remodeling and negatively affects the …

Background Scar burden by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic
resonance (CMR) is associated with functional recovery after coronary artery bypass surgery …

Objectives: The objective of the study was to determine whether the extent of left ventricular
scar, measured with delayed hyperenhancement cardiac magnetic resonance (DHE-CMR) …

Background Previous studies have shown that viable myocardium predicts recovery of left
ventricular (LV) dysfunction after revascularization. Our aim was to evaluate the prognostic …

Background Previous studies demonstrated that scar tissue assessed by late gadolinium
enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (LGE-CMR) is associated with …

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement
(LGE) can provide unique data on the transmural extent of scar/viability. We assessed the …

An operative procedure can be precise and perfect only if it is based upon the surgeon's
profound knowledge of anatomy, his understanding of the alteration of this normal anatomy …

METHODS The study population consisted of 29 consecutive patients with a first AMI,
documented by typical chest pain lasting> 30 min, raised concentration of creatine kinase …

Left ventricular (LV) remodeling and myocardial fibrosis have been linked to adverse heart
failure outcomes. Mid wall late gadolinium enhancement (MW-LGE) on cardiac magnetic …
