Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging During Hospitalization and Follow-Up

(Top) Initial CMR. (A) Basal short-axis T₂ map. Inferolateral wall (arrow) with elevated value of 67 ms (normal <52 ms). (B) Mid short-axis T₁ map. Septal native T₁ = 1,207 ms (normal <1,080 ms). (C) Basal short-axis cine. Quantitative LVEF = 45%. Quantitative RVEF = 33%. Small pericardial effusion. (D) Basal short-axis late gadolinium enhancement image. Note inferolateral epicardial late gadolinium enhancement (arrow). (Bottom) 3-month follow-up CMR. (A) Basal short-axis T₂ map. Inferolateral wall 48 ms. (B) Mid short-axis T₁ map. Septal native T₁ = 967 ms. (C) Basal short-axis cine. Quantitative LVEF = 58%. Quantitative RVEF = 46%. (D) Basal short-axis late gadolinium enhancement image. Note improvement in inferolateral fibrosis compared to initial scan. CMR = cardiac magnetic resonance; LVEF = left ventricular ejection fraction; RVEF = right ventricular ejection fraction.
