Why the study?
Does T2-prepared, steady-state, free-precession MRI delineate the ischemic area at risk and enable estimation of myocardial salvage in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
Does T2-prepared, steady-state, free-precession MRI delineate the ischemic area at risk and enable estimation of myocardial salvage in patients with acute myocardial infarction?
T2-prepared MRI can successfully identify the area at risk and estimate myocardial salvage in acute myocardial infarction.
Supports noninvasive salvage estimation in acute MI; leaves open outcome validation in prospective cohorts.
T2-prepared, steady-state, free-precession MRI delineates the AAR and enables estimation of myocardial salvage when coupled with a measurement of infarct size.
