Myocardial Salvage by CMR Correlates With LV Remodeling and Early ST-Segment Resolution in Acute Myocardial Infarction
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the association of myocardial salvage by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with left ventricular (LV) remodeling and early ST-segment resolution in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI).
BACKGROUND: Experimental studies revealed that MI size is strongly influenced by the extent of the area at risk (AAR), limiting its accuracy as a marker of reperfusion treatment efficacy in acute MI …
