Diagnosis and management of ischemic cardiomyopathy: Role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

Figure 1 Patient presenting with an subacute non-ST-segment elevation infarction. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) images of a 54-year-old man who presented with typical chest pain. Troponin was elevated to 1.9 μg/L. CMR rest perfusion (A-C) shows a subendocardial perfusion deficit inferolateral and lateral on the basal (A) and midventricular (B) short axis slice. The black arrow highlights the subendocardial perfusion deficit. Late gadolinium enhancement (D-F) of the representative short axis also revealed a hyperenhancement inferolateral and lateral (black arrow) indicative of a subacute myocardial infarction.
