Key result
Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with late gadolinium enhancement successfully identified a non-transmural scar, confirming the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in a patient with normal coronary arteries.
Why the study?
Does cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with late gadolinium enhancement improve diagnosis in a patient with suspected myocardial infarction and normal coronary arteries?

Does cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with late gadolinium enhancement improve diagnosis in a patient with suspected myocardial infarction and normal coronary arteries?
Cardiac MRI with late gadolinium enhancement is a valuable tool for confirming myocardial infarction in patients with positive cardiac markers but normal coronary arteries and non-diagnostic ECG or echocardiography.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support CMR-LGE diagnosis in suspected MI with normal coronaries; hypothesis-generating, requires prospective validation before practice change.

Panovský et al. (2011) conducted a case report in Myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries (n=1). Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with late gadolinium enhancement was evaluated on Detection of myocardial scar. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging with late gadolinium enhancement successfully identified a non-transmural scar, confirming the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction in a patient with normal coronary arteries.
