Abstract |
Lack of gadolinium-contrast wash-in on first-pass perfusion imaging, early gadolinium-enhanced imaging, or late gadolinium-enhanced (LGE) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging after revascularized ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is commonly referred to as microvascular obstruction (MVO). Additionally, T2-weighted imaging allows for the visualization of infarct-related oedema and intramyocardial haemorrhage (IMH) within the infarction. However, the exact histopathological correlate of the contrast-devoid core and its relation to IMH is unknown. |
