Remote zone T1 mapping on cardiac MRI may serve as a marker for LV remodeling and adverse events driven by early reperfusion injury and inflammation post-STEMI.
Reperfusion injury and inflammation early post-MI was associated with remote zone T1, which in turn was independently associated with LV remodeling and adverse cardiac events post-STEMI. (Detection and Significance of Heart Injury in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction BHF MR-MI; NCT02072850).
Carrick et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
