Two examples of acute MI.

Notes: Upper row: 51-year-old male who underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for an occluded obtuse marginal. After one week, T1 mapping (A) showed increased T1 values (1244 ms, ie, +21% or +5.5 SD vs remote myocardium) in the area of the anterior wall corresponding to the edema depicted by T2-STIR (B), with a larger extent than on LGE imaging (C). Lower row: 52-year-old male presenting an acute inferior infarction related to a right coronary occlusion treated by PCI. Peak troponin I reached 13. At the third day, T1 mapping (D) demonstrated an inferior transmural T1 increase (1198 ms, ie, +15%, or +4.1 SD vs remote myocardium) in the same area than T2-STIR (E) and slightly greater than on LGE imaging (F).
