Excerpt

Accurate recognition of myocardial infarction (MI) is important, because of the benefits of immediate and correct treatment. Despite being the method of choice, echocardiographic assessment of segmental wall motion abnormalities (SWMA) in MI can be difficult and depends on operator skills, experience, and image quality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the echocardiographic detection of SWMA by experienced echocardiographers in relation to underlying infarct characteristics as assessed with delayed-enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (DE-CMR). …
