Serial Contrast-Enhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Demonstrates Regression of Hyperenhancement Within the Coronary Artery Wall in Patients After Acute Myocardial Infarction
JACC - Journal of the American College of Cardiology: Cardiovascular Imaging, 05/20/2009
Ibrahim T et al. - Serial CE-CMR identified changes in spatial extent and intensity of coronary contrast enhancement in patients after AMI. This technique may be useful for the characterization of transient coronary tissue signal changes, which may represent edema or inflammation during the post-infarction phase. In addition, CE-CMR may offer the potential for visualization of inflammatory activity in atherosclerosis associated with acute coronary syndromes.
