CMR images from a patient with acute non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, evidenced by a rise in cardiac enzymes and widespread ST segment changes on an electrocardiogram. Invasive coronary angiography revealed three vessel coronary artery disease with an occluded proximal right ventricular branch of the right coronary artery. A cine CMR image in diastole (panel A) shows a subtle wall motion abnormality in the anterior right ventricular free wall (arrow). The T2-weigthed image (panel B) shows high signal in this area with corresponding high signal on the late gadolinium enhanced image (panel C). There is no evidence for scar in the left ventricle, suggesting isolated right ventricular infarction.
