Figure 1From: Quantitative characterization of myocardial infarction by cardiovascular magnetic resonance predicts future cardiovascular events in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathyCardiac magnetic resonance characterization of myocardial infarction. The total myocardial and scar area in each of the 8 to 11 short-axis images were traced manually. Myocardial and scar volume for each slice were calculated as (area myocardium or area scar × slice thickness of 10 mm). The scar percentage of myocardium was also expressed as a percentage of the total myocardial volume (Volume scar/Volume myocardium × 100).Back to article page
