Late enhancing transmural left myocardial scar

Recent advances in the anterior wall, the septum and the apexMRI have made it possible to assess myocardial infarction in patients. Local hypokinesia in this region on the 2 D FIESTAcan be identified with cine images. Global LV function was normal (EF= 66%). A thrombus could not while scar tissues can be foundidentified using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) images which are obtained 10 minutes after gadolinium injection.
