Why the study?
Evaluation of myocardial salvage index for predicting prognosis in acute myocardial infarction is mainly based on contrast agent-dependent CMR sequences, leaving the prognostic value of contrast agent-free CMR unexplored.
Does evaluation of myocardial salvage index (MSI) using contrast agent-free CMR predict the occurrence of MACEs in patients with reperfused STEMI?
Does evaluation of myocardial salvage index (MSI) using contrast agent-free CMR predict the occurrence of MACEs in patients with reperfused STEMI?
Contrast agent-free CMR provides a reliable evaluation of myocardial salvage index for predicting MACEs in reperfused STEMI.

Contrast-free CMR MSI reliably predicts MACEs in reperfused STEMI; confirms its role for post-MI risk stratification.
