Excerpt

Microvascular obstruction (MVO) after coronary reperfusion for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) implies advanced myocardial damage and is recognized as a negative prognostic value. Delayed contrast-enhanced MRI is the preferred MR imaging technique for evaluation of MVO. In this study, we assessed the influence of MVO on post-infarction left ventricular (LV) remodeling and dysfunction. …
