Maps of peak circumferential shortening (csh) for five patients with myocardial infarction. The top row represents results from fully sampled data while the second row shows data from prospectively undersampled acquisitions. The third row shows the result of late gadolinium enhancement imaging (LGE). The myocardial signal intensity post contrast was averaged over each sector and normalized to the signal intensity from completely infarcted tissue. The bottom row shows box-plots of peak circumferential shortening for sectors with more than 50% late gadolinium enhanced signal (grey) and sectors with less than 50% late gadolinium enhanced signal (black). The box represents 50% of the data points and the error bars 90%. Statistical significance is indicated by # for p < 0.002 and * for p < 0.0002.
