Figure 1 A patient with three-vessel coronary artery disease and severe left ventricular dysfunction (angio [+] group), with a multisegmentary pattern of subendocardial and transmural late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) suggesting previous myocardial infarction. (A) Long-axis two-chamber view showing a transmural LGE pattern in anterior and apical segments in the left anterior descending coronary artery territory (black arrows), as well as a subendocardial LGE pattern in the basal inferior segment in the right coronary artery territory (white arrow). (B) Short-axis mid-cavity view showing a transmural LGE pattern in mid-anterolateral and inferolateral segments affecting the anterolateral papillary muscle, as well as a subendocardial LGE pattern in mid-inferior segment (white arrows). (C) Short-axis apical view showing a transmural LGE pattern in apical anterior and septal segments (white arrows).
