Risonanza magnetica cardiaca nei pazienti con infarto miocardico acuto: il valore clinico aggiunto.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as the reference noninvasive modality for a comprehensive assessment of myocardial injury following acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Beyond accurate quantification of ventricular volumes and ejection fraction, CMR uniquely enables in vivo characterization of the infarct size, the ischemic area at risk, microvascular obstruction, intramyocardial hemorrhage, and interstitial remodeling-pathophysiological processes that are all tightly linked to adverse left ventricular remodeling and long-term clinical outcomes. Advances in late gadolinium enhancement imaging and parametric mapping techniques, including native T1, T2, T2*, and extracellular
