We sought to evaluate the accuracy of the endocardial surface area (ESA) method when applied after scar remodelling (three months after initial infarction) using T2-weigthed imaging as reference.

## Objectives T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the endocardial surface area (ESA) assessed by late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) have been introduced as relatively new methods for myocardium at risk assessment in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
