Table 1.
Age/sex | STIR abnormalities | Wall motion abnormalities and function (EF) | LGE |
---|---|---|---|
18/male | Confluent hyperintensities in lateral wall, apex, and infero-septum | Mild hypokinesis in lateral wall, infero-septum, and apex EF - 51% | Patches of mid-myocardial enhancement co-localizing to areas of STIR hyperintensities (thick arrows) and papillary muscle |
22/male | Patchy hyperintense signal in lateral wall (base and mid-cavity) | Global hypokinesis; more pronounced in lateral walls EF - 39% | Epicardial in anterolateral and inferolateral segments in base and mid cavity |
32/male | Foci of hyperintense signal in lateral wall (base and mid-cavity) | Regional wall motion abnormalities (hypokinesis) along lateral walls EF - 62% | Epicardial and mid myocardial in anterolateral and inferolateral segments in base and mid cavity |
43/male | Normal signal | Regional wall motion abnormalities (hypokinesis) in inferior walls (base to apex) (45) | Transmural LGE in inferior segments (4, 9, 15). Sub-endocardial infarction in basal antero-septum |
EF: Ejection fraction, STIR: Short-tau-inverse-recovery, LGE: Late gadolinium enhancement
