Figure 5 The cardiac magnetic resonance infarct size decreases between the acute and the follow-up cardiac magnetic resonance scan based on grams of myocardium with delayed enhancement (a) or percent of myocardium that showed delayed enhancement (b). For comparison purposes, similar measurements in patients with chronic myocardial infarction do not change significantly between serial cardiac magnetic resonance scans (c and d). LV = left ventricle.
