Key result
CMR serves as the one-stop gold standard for evaluating myocardial structure, function, and viability in AMI.
Why the study?
Assessment of infarcted and surviving myocardium and microvascular obstruction is crucial in AMI, and a more thorough understanding of CMR will clarify its diagnostic and prognostic applications.
CMR serves as a comprehensive 'gold standard' imaging modality for risk stratification and prognostic assessment in acute myocardial infarction.

Supports CMR for AMI risk stratification; leaves open prospective outcome trials before routine adoption.
Wang et al. (2023) conducted a review in Acute myocardial infarction. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) vs. Other cardiac imaging technologies was evaluated. Cardiac magnetic resonance serves as a comprehensive one-stop method and gold standard for evaluating myocardial structure, function, perfusion, and viability in acute myocardial infarction.
