CMR may identify AMI patients at risk of absent wall motion recovery after successful angioplasty; leaves open whether microvascular obstruction is modifiable.
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.
