Fig 2. Example Images From a Study of Reperfused Anterior ST-segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

Fig 2

Representative cardiac magnetic resonance images of a reperfused anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction: (A) high D-dimer level with a short-axis slice of a T2-weighted image, (B) high D-dimer level with a late-gadolinium enhancement image, (C) low D-dimer level with a short-axis slice of a T2-weighted image, (D) low D-dimer level with a late-gadolinium enhancement image. In these cases, D-dimer levels, area at risk, and infarct size were 1.43μg/mL versus 0.26μg/mL, 72.2% versus 55.6% and 38.6% versus 17.9%, respectively, yielding a myocardial salvage index of 46.5 versus 67.8.
