Fig 1. Cardiac magnetic resonance in a patient with an inferior ST-elevation myocardial infarction, treated by primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

A. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) imaging shows the area of microvascular obstruction (red arrow) in the core of inferior transmural infarction (blue arrow). Contrast fails to penetrate the areas of microvascular obstruction and appears as pseudonormal myocardium. B. T2* mapping shows an area of intra-myocardial hemorrhage (red arrow).
