• Functional Recovery After Acute Myocardial Infarction: Comparison Between Angiography, Electrocardiography, and Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Measures of Microvascular Injury Robin Nijveldt, Aernout M. Beek, Alexander Hirsch, Martin G. Stoel, Mark B. M. Hofman, Victor A. W. M. Umans, Paul R. Algra, Jos W. R. Twisk, Albert C. van Rossum We examined the relation between angiographic, electrocardiographic, and gadolinium-enhanced cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) characteristics of microvascular obstruction, and their predictive value on functional recovery in 60 patients after acute myocardial infarction. Presence of microvascular obstruction as assessed by gadolinium-enhanced CMR was related to electrocardiographic findings, but not to angiographic characteristics of microvascular injury. In a direct comparison in patients after revascularized acute myocardial infarction, microvascular obstruction as detected on late gadolinium-enhanced CMR images proved a more powerful predictor of global and regional functional recovery than all other characteristics, including transmural extent of infarction.
