Can CMR detect impaired microvascular reperfusion and predict recovery of wall motion in AMI patients after successful infarct angioplasty?
CMR can identify severe microvascular obstruction after successful AMI angioplasty, which predicts poor regional functional recovery.
CMR detects impaired microvascular reperfusion in AMI patients despite successful infarct angioplasty, which when severe is associated with a lack of recovery of wall motion.
Taylor et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
