Why the study?
Do contrast-enhanced balanced cine-SSFP sequences correlate with delayed-enhancement T1 sequences in assessing apparent infarct size in patients with recent successfully reperfused acute MI?
Population
29 consecutive patients with recent successfully reperfused acute myocardial infarction (MI)
Comparison
Contrast-enhanced balanced cine steady-state… vs Delayed-enhancement (DE) T1 sequences

Postcontrast cine-SSFP may serve as a faster alternative for infarct assessment in acute MI; leaves open prospective validation before clinical adoption.
Do contrast-enhanced balanced cine-SSFP sequences correlate with delayed-enhancement T1 sequences in assessing apparent infarct size in patients with recent successfully reperfused acute MI?
Contrast-enhanced cine-SSFP sequences correlate closely with standard delayed-enhancement T1 sequences for assessing infarct size and myocardial involvement after acute MI.
