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

Figure 5 End diastolic wall thickness. Representative end diastolic short axis images from basal (A) to apical (F) of a patient with previous inferior myocardial infarction. The anterior, septal and lateral region (white arrow, A-D) show a preserved end diastolic wall thickness (EDWT) > 6 mm suggesting viable myocardium, whereas EDWT of the inferior wall (black arrow, A-D) is ≤ 6 mm indicating myocardial scarring.
