Figure 3

Representative left ventricular short-axis CMR images illustrating absence of LGE pre-infarct. (A) with normal color-coded strain display (B) and strain tracings showing synchronized mechanical activity with all segments peaking near simultaneously (C); Early post-MI images show LGE in the septum (D, arrow) with low strain in the septum (E) and strain traces showing mechanical dyssynchrony from early stretching (dyskinesis) and late hypokinesis of the infarcted segment (F). Late post- MI images show persistent LGE in the septum (G, arrow) with low strain in the septum (H) and strain traces showing mechanical dyssynchrony from early stretching (dyskinesis) and late hypokinesis of the infarcted segment (I). Representative 3-dimensional reconstruction of the area of delayed enhancement illustrating the extent of infarction (J).
