Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in the sub-acute phase. (A) Cine CMR image during systole shows mid-apical dyskinesia as indicated by the arrows. (B, C, D) LGE inversion recovery images show that multiple diffuse patches were spread transmurally in the mid and apical portions, as indicated by the dotted arrows (B: vertical long axis, D: short axis at apical portion) compared with no LGE in the basal portion as indicated by the yellow arrows (C: short axis at basal portion). CMR indicates cardiac magnetic resonance and LGE, late gadolinium enhancement.
