## Abstract ## Purpose To investigate whether an extracellular gadolinium‐(Gd)‐based contrast agent (CA) enters nonperfused myocardium during acute coronary occlusion, and whether nonperfused myocardium presents as hyperintense in delayed contrast‐enhanced (DE) MR images in the absence of CA in th
## Abstract Approximately half of patients experiencing congestive heart failure present with a normal left ventricular ejection fraction. Perturbations in material properties affecting ventricular pressure/volume relationships likely play an important role in the “stiff heart syndrome” yet noninva
## Abstract ## Purpose To demonstrate the advantages of signal intensity percent‐infarct‐mapping (SI‐PIM) using the standard delayed enhancement (DE) acquisition in assessing viability following myocardial infarction (MI). SI‐PIM quantifies MI density with a voxel‐by‐voxel resolution in clinically
