Figure 3 Contrast-Enhanced Images Obtained by MRI in Chronic LVD
Late gadolinium-enhanced images are shown in a short-axis view (upper panels) and a long-axis view (lower panels) in 3 patients. Hyperenhancement is present (arrows) in various coronary-perfusion territories—the left anterior descending coronary artery, the left circumflex artery, and the right coronary artery—with a range of transmural involvement. Reprinted, with permission, from Kim et al. (41). LVD = left ventricular dysfunction; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging.
