This editorial highlights the diagnostic performance of pathological Q waves on electrocardiogram for detecting and localizing myocardial infarction compared to magnetic resonance imaging.
This editorial discusses a study validating the use of ECG for detecting and localizing myocardial infarction compared to cardiovascular MRI.
In the article “Detection and localization of myocardial infarction using electrocardiogram: validation by cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging”, the authors systematically and thoroughly analyze the relationship between the presence of pathological Q waves on the electrocardiogram (ECG) and delayed enhancement with an ischemic pattern on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Very relevant data on the diagnostic performance of the ECG in detecting and localizing myocardial infarction (MI) are presented, expanding the evidence accumulated in previous studies. The authors studied two groups of [...]

Pedro Mateus (2025) conducted an editorial in Myocardial infarction. Electrocardiogram (ECG) vs. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) was evaluated on Detection and localization of myocardial infarction. This editorial highlights the diagnostic performance of pathological Q waves on electrocardiogram for detecting and localizing myocardial infarction compared to magnetic resonance imaging.
