Figure 6 CMR of Acute, Transmural Infarction With No-Reflow in a Patient With Reperfused Lateral Infarction, Who Presented Late After Onset of Symptoms

(Upper panels) Diastolic (left) and systolic (right) frames in a short-axis view showing preserved wall thickness of the lateral wall but regional akinesis of the anterolateral and inferolateral segments. (Lower panels) T2-weighted (left) and post-contrast T1-weighted (late enhancement) (right) images showing infarction-related transmural edema and matching necrosis in the dysfunctional segments. Both, T2-weighted and late enhancement images show a core with reduced signal intensity reflecting no-reflow (arrowheads) (see Online Video 5).
