Description

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a useful technique for assessing cardiac anatomy, function, and the identification of infarcted myocardium. However, the assessment of ischemic and infarcted myocardium can be further enhanced with the use of paramagnetic to contrast agents. This chapter discusses the advantages of using contrast enhanced MRI for the study of ischemic and infarcted myocardium. (author). 54 refs., 11 figs., 1 tab
