Acute T1-mapping may complement T2W for NSTEMI injury assessment; hypothesis-generating for recovery prediction, pending prospective validation.
Does pre-contrast T1-mapping by CMR improve the assessment of myocardial injury severity and prediction of functional recovery in patients with acute MI compared to standard T2W and LGE?
Pre-contrast T1-mapping is a valuable complementary CMR technique to LGE and T2W for identifying reversible myocardial injury and predicting functional recovery in acute MI.
