Abstract

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the performance of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) methods for discriminating acute from chronic myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND Although T2-weighted CMR is thought to be accurate in differentiating acute from chronic MI, few studies have reported on diagnostic accuracy, and these generally compared extremes in infarct age (e.g., = 10% of the Left ventricle, a simple algorithm incorporating all CMR components allowed classification of infarct age into 3 categories (
