- Abstract
While both first-pass perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) can assess coronary microvascular status in acute myocardial infarction (AMI), there are only limited data on their respective diagnostic utility. We aim to evaluate: the utility of first-pass perfusion and late gadolinium enhancement imaging in the detection and quantification of microvascular dysfunction after reperfused acute myocardial infarction, using TIMI frame count (TIMI FC) as the reference standard of microvascular assessment; and their relationship with infarct size and ventricular function.
