Why the study?
Does cardiovascular MR imaging at 1 week compared to day 2 better predict infarct size and LV function at 3 months in patients with reperfused AMI?
Does cardiovascular MR imaging at 1 week compared to day 2 better predict infarct size and LV function at 3 months in patients with reperfused AMI?
Cardiovascular MR measurements acquired at 1 week after AMI have greater predictive value for late infarct size and LV function at 3 months than data acquired at day 2.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
1-week CMR after AMI may predict 3-month LVEF and infarct size better than day-2 imaging; leaves optimal timing open for prospective validation.
