Cardiac MRI may identify occult infarction and pericarditis after heparin despite normal angiography; leaves open its diagnostic utility pending prospective studies.
Case Report (n=1)
Cardiac MRI is a crucial diagnostic tool for identifying transmural infarction and post-infarction pericarditis in patients presenting with ST-elevation myocardial infarction but normal coronary angiography.
Chen-Xu et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Transmural infarction and epistenocardic pericarditis (n=1). Cardiac MRI was evaluated on Diagnosis of transmural infarction and post-infarction pericarditis. Cardiac MRI confirmed recent transmural infarction and post-infarction pericarditis in 1 patient presenting with normal coronary angiography following heparin administration.
