No evidence of ventricular rupture, but the cine images show the mid anterior wall to be dyskinetic, bulging outwards on systole. On STIR, the affected myocardial segment is hyperintense consistent with oedema. No thrombus on early gadolinium images, and no myocardial hyperenhancement on late gadolinium images. Small pericardial effusion present. The calculated left ventricular ejection fraction was in the low-normal range (not shown).
