MRI is being developed as a noninvasive imaging method to identify and quantify myocardial viability in evolving myocardial infarctions.
evascularization interventions in evolving myocardial infarctions have their rationale in the assumption that viable myocardial cells persist in the ischemically injured area. Consequently, intensive work has been directed over the past decade toward the development of noninvasive imaging methods to identify and quantify myocardial viability.
