Case example of contractile reserve supplementary delayed enhancement imaging for the purpose of identifying myocardial viability. In the left panel, white arrows demarcate extensive delayed enhancement suggesting indicating marked fibrosis. The red arrow, however, denotes a region with < 50% delayed enhancement. The red arrows in the right panels (top = rest and bottom = stress) demarcate no improvement in end-systolic wall thickness with low-dose dobutamine stress. This finding suggests this segment will not improve wall thickening after coronary arterial revascularization.
