Key result
CMR detects multiterritory injury and non-infarcted myocardial oedema in embolic myocardial infarction.
Why the study?
Embolic myocardial infarction in atrial fibrillation can involve multiple myocardial territories not fully detected by coronary angiography alone.
Population
1 patient with atrial fibrillation and embolic myocardial infarction

Cardiac magnetic resonance can reveal multiple territory injury, including transient myocardial oedema without scar, in patients with embolic myocardial infarction.
Case Report (n=1)
Cardiac magnetic resonance can reveal multiple territory injury, including transient myocardial oedema without scar, in patients with embolic myocardial infarction.
Dall’Armellina et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Embolic myocardial infarction in atrial fibrillation (n=1). Cardiac magnetic resonance was evaluated on Multiple territory injury. Cardiac magnetic resonance revealed multiple territory injury, including myocardial oedema in non-infarcted segments, in a patient with embolic myocardial infarction and atrial fibrillation.
